Plant nutrition

• Photosynthesis is a chemical process which takes place in every green plant
• Photosynthesis produces food in the form of glucose
• The plant can use glucose to increase its biomass
• Sunlight, chlorophyll, carbor dioxide, and water, are all things that are needed for photosynthesis
• The equation for photosynthesis is carbon dioxide+water=glucose + oxygen
• Leaves out broad, so they have a big surface area for absorbing light
• Most of the quarter past found in leaf cells are near the top, so they can get the most light
• The underside of the leaf is covered in tiny holes called stomata. These holes allow Carbon dioxide to diffuse into the leaf from the air. They also allow oxygen to diffuse out.
• In order for plants to keep healthy, they need mineral nutrients from the soil
• Plants absorb these minerals through their roots
