Identify and explain all of the nutritional requirements of plants.

Key Points

Nutrients and water are absorbed through the plants root system.

Carbon dioxide is absorbed through the leaves.

From seedling to mature plant, there is a complex dynamic between plants and their environment (soil and atmosphere).

Key Terms

germinate: to sprout or produce buds

photosynthesis: the process by which plants and other photoautotrophs generate carbohydrates and oxygen from carbon dioxide, water, and light energy in chloroplasts

nutrient: a source of nourishment, such as food, that can be metabolized by an organism to give energy and build tissue

Explanation:

Plants are unique organisms that can absorb nutrients and water through their root system, as well as carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. Soil quality and climate are the major determinants of plant distribution and growth. The combination of soil nutrients, water, and carbon dioxide, along with sunlight, allows plants to grow. In order to develop into mature, fruit -bearing plants, many requirements must be met and events must be coordinated.
