from where do plants acquire their nutrients from where?
soil and air
CO2+light+water—-> photosynthesis —–>

what does a plant do w/ the minerals it absorbs from the soil?
it transports to the leaf
3 main minerals that plants need

Osmosis (Def)
diffusion of water
passive transport
does not require energy (Diffusion and Facilitated diffusion)
facilitated diffusion
proteins help move molecules more quickly
Diffusion
moving of molecules from an area of low concentration to an area of high concentration.
active transport
using of energy to move something
