how do plants get nutrients
Answers
Plants mainly get nutrients from the soil. Therefore, type of soil in which plants grow varies from plants to plants.
Answer:
Plants are autotrophs. They get their nutrition from the simplest substances: water, carbon dioxide, minerals, including fixed nitrogen, and sunlight. Energy captured by chloroplasts is used to build complex molecules out of those simple precursors, starting with glucose, which is used in turn to form starch, lipids, amino acids & nucleotides, &c.
Water is carried to the leaves, along with dissolved minerals, via the xylem, which is lifeless bundles of hollow tubes composed of cellulose & lignin. Carbon dioxide enters the leaf via stomata, which are small holes, connecting to the spongy interior. Glucose is exported from the leaves, where it is made, to other parts of the plant such as the roots, by way of the phloem, a thin layer of living tissue under the bark.
hmm I think this will help uh... thanks:)
