Nutrition Flashcards
Mode of nutrition in living organisms that make their own food
Autotrophs
Opposite of autotroph
Heterotrophs
3 types of heterotrophs
Saprophytes,parasite,insectivores
Pigment for photosynthesis
Chlorophyll
Tissues in the plants stem for transport
Xylem and phloem
Photosynthesis reaction
6CO2+6H2O+solar energy +chlorophyll =C6H12O6(carbohydrate) + 6O2
Respiration in plants reaction
6Oxygen+1carbohydrate=6water+
6carbondioxide+energy
Function of root
Absorbing water and mineral
Water and minerals in plants enter through
Cap holes
Which Mineral deficiency causes yellow color Leaves.why?
Chlorophyll formation needs magnesium
Which type of vascular tissue transporting water and minerals from root to leaf.
Xylem tissue
Type of vascular tissue transporting synthesized food from leaf to every part of the plant
Phloem
Plants absorb nitrogen from the soil in which form
NO3(nitrate ions)
OR
NH4+ (ammonium ions)
