Study Notes
Soil
- Plants need soil to grow.
- Different plants require different nutrients.
- Fertilizers can be added to the soil to provide nutrients.
- Inadequate nutrients can cause plants to weaken and die.
Water
- Plants require water to grow.
- Different plants have varying water requirements, some needing a lot and others very little.
- Cacti can store water and survive for long periods without rain.
- Cacti have spines to deter animals from feeding on them.
- Seeds need water to germinate.
- Lack of water can prevent seed germination and affect plant health.
- Plants can wilt due to insufficient water, but can recover if watered.
- Prolonged dehydration leads to plant death.
Temperature
- Plants need the right temperature to thrive.
- Some plants can grow in extremely cold or hot environments.
- Seeds require specific temperatures for germination, often germinating in spring when temperatures warm.
- Plants create their own food using photosynthesis, which requires a suitable temperature.
