Biology 2: Form and Function
Nutrition in plants
• Soil is vital as the main source of nutrients– Particle size– Nutrient content– Water content– Can be enriched with fertilizers
• As autotrophs, plants use nutrients obtained from soil, together with gases and light energy, to create complex organic molecules with high potential chemical energy
