During photosynthesis , sugar is made by the plants. The plant absorbs minerals salts form water or from the soil by its roots. These salts provide importants elaments to the plants e.g nitrogen , calcium , iron .
Humans get nutrients like fiber, vitamins (such as vitamin C and vitamin K), and minerals (such as potassium and magnesium) from plants. Plants also provide phytochemicals, antioxidants, and other beneficial compounds that support overall health.
Plants have limiting factors for nutrition and growth, While they manufacture sugars from atmospheric carbon dioxide and sunlight through photosynthesis they need other nutrient s like nitrogen, phosphorus and water. The role of trace metals in their diets like copper is also a consideration. These nutrients or foods are limiting factors in plant growth and health.
Consumption, where animals eat plants or other animals that have consumed plants, is the primary process that directly moves nutrients from plants to animals. Through this process, animals obtain the nutrients necessary for their growth and survival.
Everything needs some sort of nutrients to live. Fungi get their nutrients from photosynthesis, plants do the same and obtain it from the roots, animals obtain their nutrients from eating plants, and other animals.
Organisms that manufacture organic nutrients from inorganic substances, such as carbon dioxide, are called primary producers. They are also referred to as autotrophs.
Producers. These are organisms that can photosynthesize, like plants, algae, and some bacteria, using sunlight to convert inorganic substances into organic nutrients that can be used by other organisms in the ecosystem.
Epiphytes. These plants obtain nutrients and water from the air around them and do not rely on their host plants for these resources. They have evolved adaptations to thrive in the challenging habitat of growing on other plants.
Pitcher plants grow on less fertile soil. you must remember that plants need several nutrients to manufacture food. For eg Nitrogen. Magnesium is necessary for chlorophyll. Hence to get nutrients, pitcher plants trap insects. When they get digested, nutrients are released. They use these nutrients to manufacture foods. Remember all green plants are AUTOTROPHIC. So is a pitcher plant. Auto means self and Trophism means feeding.
Plants! :D
Plants! :D
Desert plants carry out photosynthesis as do other plants to produce their own food.
Yes, some plants can release chemicals to inhibit the growth of neighboring plants and compete for nutrients. This process is known as allelopathy. Additionally, some plants with invasive roots can outcompete other plants for nutrients by absorbing them from the soil before neighboring plants can access them.
all plants can become fertiliser when plants die they become a good source of nutrients for other plants
No, it is a process in which plants use sunlight to manufacture their own food.No other living thing can do do this but plants.
Organisms that are able to manufacture organic nutrients in the a biotic environment are classified..?
A1 cascutta.A2. some Orchids parasitise upon fungal hyphae, and do not have chlorophyll themselves Gastrodia genus is one such. It draws its food from a fungus.Broom rape is another common weed which shares this characteristic. These epiparasites draw their food from the roots of other plants.Quite separately, there are Brown and Red seaweeds which each use a pathway different from chlorophyll to split water into H and O.
They get water and nutrients from the soil like other plants.
