NUTRITION IN PLANTS


Plants do not eat other living things.
They produce their own food through photosynthesis.
Plants need four things to carry out photosynthesis:

  • Water and mineral salts are taken from the soil through the roots.
  • Carbon dioxide, a gas, is taken from the air through the leaves.
  • Energy from sunlight is taken through the leaves by a green substance called chlorophyll.
