Flashcards: Growth Needs of Plants

Plants and trees can grow in a wide variety of environments. Whether they grow in the desert or the rainforest, they all have one thing in common, air and water are necessary for life and growth. Depending on the plant's adaptations, the amount of water needed to survive varies. Some plants, like those in the desert, need very little water to grow. Plants primarily get the materials for growth from the air and water. Sunlight provides the energy that is required to create food through photosynthesis. We often see plants in soil, but it isn't necessary for growth.

Hydroponics is a system of growing plants without soil. Nutrients are added to water and delivered directly through a plant's roots. Plants do not gain anything from the earth itself; they absorb nutrients from within the soil. If those nutrients are added to the water, and the plant is in the open air, then the soil is not needed. Plants take in carbon dioxide from the air and convert it into glucose through the process of photosynthesis, which is powered by sunlight. Hydroponics come in numerous forms: the plants can be hung vertically, and the roots are sprayed, or roots may be submerged in water through a series of tubs, containers, or even coconut husks!

Why is air so important for a plant's growth?

Plants breathe oxygen that they absorb from the air.

Plants absorb carbon dioxide from the air to use during photosynthesis.

Air is not essential for a plant's growth; they can live without it.

Air is absorbed into the roots of the plants to provide the necessary oxygen.

Flashcards: Growth Needs of Plants

Why is air so important for a plant's growth?

Your answer:

Plants breathe oxygen that they absorb from the air.

Your answer:

Air is not essential for a plant's growth; they can live without it.

Your answer:

Air is absorbed into the roots of the plants to provide the necessary oxygen.

Correct answer:

Plants absorb carbon dioxide from the air to use during photosynthesis.

Explanation:

Air is vital to a plant's growth and survival. Plants take in carbon dioxide from the air and convert it into glucose through the process of photosynthesis, which is powered by sunlight. Without air, plants would not be able to create glucose and would die. They must have access to carbon dioxide to survive.

Plants and trees can grow in a wide variety of environments. Whether they grow in the desert or the rainforest, they all have one thing in common, air and water are necessary for life and growth. Depending on the plant’s adaptations, the amount of water needed to survive varies. Some plants, like those in the desert, need very little water to grow. Plants primarily get the materials for growth from the air and water. Sunlight provides the energy that is required to create food through photosynthesis.

Why is water important to a plant's survival?

Water is necessary to clean the plants and keep predators off of them.

Water soaks into the plant and provides it with the carbon dioxide needed.

Water transports nutrients to plants and keeps them cool during transpiration.

Water is not crucial to a plant's survival or growth.

Your answer:

Water is not crucial to a plant's survival or growth.

Correct answer:

Water transports nutrients to plants and keeps them cool during transpiration.

Explanation:

Water is one of just a few things plants need to survive. Water supports the transportation of nutrients, from the soil up into the structures of the plant, is used in the process of photosynthesis, helps keep plants standing stiff and upright and not wilted or droopy, and water helps keep plants cool as it evaporates from the leaves. If plants do not have access to water, they will not absorb the nutrients needed to grow.
