uses of nutrition in plants

The plants upon which we depend for the food we eat, and for the oxygen we breathe, depend in turn upon the soil. A good soil supplies the plants with the mineral elements they use. Vigorous, highly productive plants can be grown in solutions of fertili..

Nutrition can be defined as the process by which an organism obtains food which is used to provide energy and materials for its life sustaining activities. Thus the term nutrition includes the means by which an organism obtains its food and also the processes by which ..

Summary - All plants whether autotrophic or heterotrophic require mineral nutrition for growth and metabolism. The parasitic plant, cuscuta has haustoria to derive nourishment from the host plant. A plant needs many essential nutrients for a healthy grow..

Most plants are autotrophic. They synthesize their own food. The green plants, also called the producers, trap the solar energy and convert it into chemical energy of the food. The biochemical reactions in the body which result in the formation of chemical compounds are collecti..

Goats are fed with fresh fodder, hay of leguminous plants such as barseems and tender leaves of trees. The ideal ration for the goat is 5 kg roughage (3-4 kg green fodder and 1-2 kg dry fodder) and 250 g concentrates. Mineral mixture, oil cakes, pulses, sesame, corn and jowar are also fe..

'auto' means self and 'trophic' refers to food. So, the organisms, which synthesize their own food using CO 2 , are called the autotrophs and the process is called autotrophic nutrition. Autotrophs include all green plants and some bacteria such as the nitrifying ba..

Autotrophs synthesize organic materials from inorganic materials. Some organisms derive their energy for this process from sunlight and are called photoautotrophs. Example: Green plants Other organisms use chemical energy and are called chemoautotrophs. Example: Nitrifying bact..
