Study Notes

Plant Nutrition

  • Plants constantly exchange matter and energy with their surroundings.
  • Except for few exceptions, plants absorb nutrients in the form of aqueous solutions and gases, as their cell walls only let liquids and gases pass through.
  • Nutrients include water and minerals.
  • Water is a transport medium (the plant only needs the nutrients in the water, not the water itself); absorbed by the roots.
  • Water is essential for plants; its key functions are solvent and enables chemical reactions.
