energy.
Chemicals and nutrients released by decaying plant (and animal) matter - is absorbed through the plants roots. The plant extracts the usable nutrients - using the energy gained to increase in size or reproduce.
Nutrients taken in by the mother during pregnancy. She takes in food, matter, and it is processed into nutrients that the baby can use to make cells, matter, to become a newborn animal.
The nutrients help the cells to mature and grow. They also need these nutrients to create ATP for energy to work.
Vacuoles store nutrients for later use in animal and plant cells
Decomposers are like natures recyclers because they release nutrients stored in the dead plant or animal so that growing plants can use the nutrients to make more food.
Compost is great for plants absolutely the best thing! All of the nutrients from the food are absorbed into the compost. Yes! Use it!
Cellular Respiration.
Absorption allows the nutrients that were produced during digestion to get "sucked up" and passed to the cells. Remember, we are just a bunch of cells and we must keep them alive. So, the nutrients are absorbed, given to the cells (via the circulatory system), and then they can use the nutrients to survive.
To be able to make use of the nutrients inside.
