What do plants take in from their environment to support their growth and development?
Plants take in water, sunlight, and nutrients from the soil to support their growth and development.
What is the Opposite of transpiration?
The opposite of transpiration is absorption, where plants take in water and nutrients from the soil.
What does soil have to do with fertility?
Everything. Soil is what not only anchors plants to the ground, but also provides nutrients for the roots to take up for the plant to use. No other means of fertilizing plants can be accomplished without putting the nutrients to their roots system, which means putting those nutrients (and increasing soil fertility) in the soil.
Give some example of soil- depleting crops?
All plants will deplete the soil by the fact that they take nutrients from it. The art of the good gardener is to replace the nutrients taken.
In what way are weeds harmful to the plants?
A weed is any plant that grows where a gardener does not want it. Because all plants take nutrients from the soil, a weed would be take some of the nutrients needed by the plants the gardener wants.
How are nutrients recycled in an ecosystem?
Nutrients in an ecosystem are recycled through processes like decomposition, where organic matter is broken down by bacteria and fungi into nutrient-rich soil. Plants then take up these nutrients from the soil, animals eat the plants, and when plants and animals die, their nutrients are returned to the soil through decomposition to be used again. This cycle continues, ensuring that nutrients are continually recycled within the ecosystem.
How do decomposers and plants cycle nutrients in soil?
Decomposers, such as fungi and bacteria, break down dead organic matter, releasing nutrients back into the soil in forms that plants can absorb. This process enriches the soil with essential elements like nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium. Plants then take up these nutrients through their roots, using them for growth and development. When plants die or shed leaves, they contribute organic material back into the soil, continuing the nutrient cycling process.
Does seeds take in water and nutrients from the soil?
yes, they would die without either of them. Practically all plants and seeds need water and soil.
Why does primary succession take longer that secondary succession?
Soil nutrients remain in the area which enables plants to grow.
List three ways in which plants influence the cycling of nutrients?
Plants take up nutrients from the soil through their roots, thereby reducing nutrient availability in the soil. When plants shed leaves or die, they release nutrients back into the soil through decomposition, making them available for other plants. Some plants have symbiotic relationships with nitrogen-fixing bacteria that convert atmospheric nitrogen into a form that plants can use, contributing to the nitrogen cycle.
