Chapter 3: Nutrition in Plants
What you need to learn in this chapter
In this chapter, we will be learning about nutrition in plants. We will start by understanding the main inorganic nutrients that plants need, such as macronutrients and micronutrients. We will learn about the importance of these nutrients for the growth and development of plants. Next, we will study the organs of water uptake and mineral salts in plants. We will explore the structure of roots and how they are adapted to absorb water and mineral salts from the soil. We will also learn about the different adaptations that plants have developed to obtain nutrients from their environment. Lastly, we will discuss the diversity in plant nutrition. We will explore how different plants have adapted to obtain nutrients in various environments. This will help us understand the different strategies that plants use to survive and thrive in different conditions.
