Aristotle was a Greek scientist who thought that plants ate soil and sucked it up through their roots. Most people believed this until the 17th century. In the 17th century, a scientist called Jan van Helmont tested Aristotle's theory. He measured the masses of a small tree and some soil in a pot. He planted the tree and watered it for 5 years In van Helmont's experiment the mass of the soil did not go down much (0.06kgs/ 0.132lbs) but the mass of the tree went up a lot (74.47kg/163.834lbs). This showed that Aristotle's theory was wrong. Van Helmont suggested that the tree got all of its food from water. In 1782, Jean Senebier showed that plants need carbon dioxide gas from the air and suggested that plants only use this gas to make food. In 1804, Nicholas de Saussure did van Helmont's experiment again, but he carefully measured the amounts of carbon dioxide and water he gave to the plant. He showed that both carbon dioxide and water are needed.
Cabbage white butterflies primarily feed on nectar from various flowering plants. In their caterpillar stage, they feed on brassica plants, including cabbage, broccoli, and kale, which gives them their common name.
The scientist who discovered cells in plants was Robert Hooke, an English physicist, and natural philosopher who made this observation in 1665 while examining a thin slice of cork through a simple microscope. He called the tiny compartments he saw "cells" because they reminded him of small rooms or monks' living quarters.
Matthias Schleiden discovered that all plants are made of cells in 1838.
Imperial moths feed off of several different types of plants. Some of these plants include Quercus, Acer, Pinus, and Sassafras.
Trial and Error
Herbivores feed exclusively on plants and omnivores feed on plants as well as animals.
They do it to survive through a process called photosynthesis and in a way feed themselves.
it gives the humans air to bretheHumans feed on plant material or meat. Animals human eat feed on plants. So directly or indirectly human feed on plants. Plants depend on photosynthesis
Plants don't need us to feed them because they are producers
Plants feed animals, animals fertilize plants.

The caterpillars feed on milkweed leaves. The adults feed on any nectar-producing flowers such as asters, goldenrod, marigolds, and swan plants.
Yes. To get a steak you have to spend a lot of energy on growing plants as food for the animal that will become the steak. And animals aren't that good at turning plants into meat, so you have to feed them a lot more than they produce. If you grow plants to feed to people directly instead, bypassing the animal, the same amount of plants will feed a lot more people than the animal did.
To feed it.
It was discovered by Gregor Mendel with his experiment on pea plants.
If you feed a plant milk instead of water do you think it would grow the same way?
