Name the process and explain the type of nutrition found in green plant? List the raw material required for this process
Answers
1)photosynthesis
raw material ;carbon di oxide,water,chlorophylland sunlight
By the process of photosynthesis, plants make carbohydrates from raw materials by using energy from light. Chlorophyll is a green substance which is present in chloroplasts in green plants, which absorbed light energy. This light energy is used to convert carbon dioxide and water into sugar.
The essential plant nutrients are carbon, oxygen and hydrogen which is absorbed from air and some other nutrients are absorbed from soil such as nitrogen, phosphorous etc.
The nutrients that are absorbed by plant from soil are divided into macro(large amount) and micro (less amount) nutrients. The nutrients that are required by plant in large amount are nitrogen, phosphorous, potassium, calcium, sulfur, magnesium and nutrients that are required in less amount are zinc, copper, nickel, boron, iron.
Raw materials used by plant are carbon dioxide, water, minerals, sunlight.
