Best Answer

Nitrate ions (NO3)Building proteins and growthPoor growth and yellow leavesAll amino acids contain nitrogen. Amino acids are the building blocks of protein.Phosphate ions (PO4)Respiration and growthPoor root growth and discoloured leavesA component of DNA molecules and cell membranesPotassium ions (K+)Respiration and photosynthesisPoor flower and fruit growth, discoloured leavesMust be present for photosynthesis and respiration enzymes to workMagnesium ions (Mg2+)PhotosynthesisYellow leavesChlorophyll molecules contain magnesium ions. It's the magnesium that makes chlorophyll green

Why structures is important for plants?

roots stems and leaves are the important structures in th plant 1.The roots absorb the water aand anchor the plants to the soil. 2.The stems conduct the water and food by xylem and phloem. 3.the leaves are the major sites of photosynthesis,transpiration which is due to stomata and mesophyll cells.

What are the basic requirements for plants to survive?

Plants need Sunlights, soil, and water maybe oxygen to live. The right answer would be plants need Sunlight nutrients water and air. The reason i did not say soil is because i do auqaponics which does not use soil it only has water and fish, that can be harvested to eat. The plants roots are hanging in water with no soil and all they need is a constant flow of water and air. The water has fish feces and other things from the fish. The water is naturally filtered by the plants so the water should be very clean and the fish should most likely eat some of the roots of your plants but the plants still grow.

What two things does a plant get from the soil?

Water is pulled from the soil into the plant roots via evaporation of water occurring in the leaf veins. The water and solutes in the water stick together, so where the water goes, the solutes will follow. The pressure from the evaporation pulls the water from the soil into the root hairs, into the xylem of the roots, into the xylem of the stem, into the xylem of the branches, into the xylem of the leaf veins, and out of the stomata. The plant uses only the water it needs, and pulls the solutes from the water.
