How does salt affect pinto beans?

Salt, which is made up of sodium and chloride, becomes toxic to plants when it dissolves in water and the sodium and chloride ions separate. The sodium ions take the place of the much-needed phosphorus and potassium in the soil, making these two nutrients unavailable to the plant. Chloride ions are absorbed by the roots and transported to the leaves, where they accumulate and interfere with photosynthesis or chlorophyll production.

Why does a plant need nitrogen to grow?

magnesium ions are found in the centre of chlorophyll moolecules, and as chlorophyll is an essential component in the reaction of photosynthesis, which produces energy for growth, magnesium ions are therefore essential.


What happens in lack of nitrate ions in plants?

If a plant doesn't take in nitrates, it will wither and die. Nitrogen is one of the three macronutrients (nutrients needed in relatively large amounts) for any given plant. The other two are phosphorous and potassium. The only way for a plant to absorb nitrogen is through nitrogen-rich compounds, such as the nitrates and nitrites.


Why doesn't photosynthesis occur in animals?

The process of photosynthesis occur in plant cells mainly because of the presence of special cells known as chloroplasts. These chloroplasts contain a green pigment known as CHLOROPHYLL. This pigment makes use of energy from sunlight to split water molecules into their constituent hydrogen and hydroxide ions,(a process known as PHOTOLYSIS OF WATER). The hydrogen ions thus react with the carbon dioxide within the cells to form carbohydrates. On the contrary, animal cells lacks this chloroplasts, hence the absence of CHLOROPHYLL. Since there is no chlorophyll, there is on mechanism for the photolysis of water that will lead to the formation of carbohydrates, thus photosynthesis does not occur in animal cells.
