Understand the nutritional adaptations of plants. Describe mycorrhizae. Explain nitrogen fixation. Plants obtain food in two different ways. Autotrophic plants can make their own food from inorganic raw materials, such as carbon dioxide and water, through photosynthesis in the presence of sunlight. Green plants are included in this group.
Plants like these use enzymes to convert organic food materials into simpler forms from which they can absorb nutrients (Figure 31.13). Most saprophytes do not directly digest dead matter: instead, they parasitize fungi that digest dead matter, or are mycorrhizal, ultimately obtaining photosynthate from a fungus that derived photosynthate from ...
Nov 19, 2021 · The compendium of research articles and review papers in this special issue together cover the basic and applied aspects of adaptation mechanisms of plants to nutrient deficiency and toxicity stress, as well as biofortification approaches to improve the nutritional quality of crops.

Differentiate between photo-, chemo-, auto-, and hetero-trophiesDistinguish between essential, beneficial, macro- and micro-nutrient requirements for plants and animalsRecognize that both insufficient and excessive amounts of nutrients can have detrimental effects on organism’s growth and healthPredict the symptoms of nutrient deficiencies in plants based on whether the nutrient is mobile or immobile in plant tissueThe information below was adapted from OpenStax Biology 22.3 Recall from our discussion of prokaryotes metabolic diversity that all living things require a source of energy and a source of carbon, and we can classify organisms according to how they meet those requirements: 1. Classification by source of energy: 1.1. Phototrophs (phototrophic organi...
The information below was adapted from OpenStax Biology 22.3, OpenStax Biology 23.2, and OpenStax Biology 24.1 Cells are made of more than just carbon; for cells to build all of the molecules required to sustain life, they need certain substances collectively called nutrients. A nutrient is essential if an organism cannot synthesize it and must acq...
The information below was adapted from OpenStax Biology 31.1, OpenStax Biology 31.3, OpenStax Biology 24.3 Plants require light, water and about 20 essential nutrients (including both macro- and micronutrients) to support all their biochemical needs. Depending on the species, some plants have additional essential nutrients. Here we will describe on...

The information below was adapted from OpenStax Biology 34.0, OpenStax Biology 34.1 OpenStax Biology 34.2 Animals are chemoheterotrophs, obtaining both carbon and energy from organic chemical sources, and most animals obtain their nutrients by consuming (eating) other organisms. At the cellular level, the biological molecules necessary for animal f...
Apr 7, 2022 · Plant growth and crop yield highly depend on the availability of all required nutrients, ideally in well-balanced ratios. However, plants often face shortages of one or several nutrients. Plant hormones play an important role in the adaptation of plant growth during nutrient-deficiency stresses.
