Question

synthesis of plant food other than carbohydrates.......... ​

Answer 1

• Plants need proteins and fats besides the carbohydrate. Proteins are nitrogenous substances which contain nitrogen.
• Although nitrogen is present in abundance in atmosphere, but plant cannot absorb atmospheric nitrogen. Plant gets nitrogen from soil.
• Certain types of bacteria called rhizobium, are present in soil. They convert gaseous nitrogen into usable form and release it into the soil. Plants absorb these soluble forms of nitrogen along with water and other minerals through roots.
