    This document is a classroom worksheet about plant nutrition and gas exchange. It contains information in three main sections: 1) Plants are autotrophs that produce their own food through photosynthesis, combining carbon dioxide from the air with water and minerals from the soil to produce oxygen and carbohydrates as food. 2) Plants need minerals absorbed from the soil in the form of inorganic ions to support growth and development. Major minerals include nitrogen, phosphorus, magnesium, and potassium which help synthesize compounds and carry out important functions. Deficiencies can cause poor growth or yellow/purple leaves. 3) A practical investigation demonstrates that seedlings grown with a complete nutrient solution thrive while those deficient in minerals show stunted growth or

    Chapter 10 Nutrition and gas exchange in plants


    Name: ( ) Class: Date:

    10.1 Nutrition in plants


    A. Plants as autotrophs

     Plants are (1) (自養生物) that make their own food from simple inorganic substances.
    This mode of nutrition is called (2)
    (自養營養).

     Plants produce food by the process of (3) (光合作用):

    light energy
    carbon dioxide (4) oxygen
    (from the air)  (from the soil) (5)  (by-product)
    chlorophyll
    ( 葉綠素 )

     The carbohydrates produced in photosynthesis and (6) can be used to synthesize other
    compounds that are essential to the plants.

     During photosynthesis, plants absorb (7) from the Sun and convert it into (8)
    stored in the organic food substances.

     Plants serve as the primary food source for all other organisms and act as (9) (生產
    者) in the ecosystem.

    B. The need for minerals in plants

     Plants absorb minerals in the form of inorganic (10) from soil.

    10-1
    Classroom worksheet 10 Nutrition and gas exchange in plants

     Minerals provide plants with essential elements that can be classified into two groups:

    Description Examples of elements

    (11)  Needed in relatively large amounts Nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P),


    elements  Mostly used to make magnesium (Mg), potassium (K),
    (大量元素) (12) compounds calcium (Ca) and sulphur (S)

    (13)  Needed in very small amounts Iron (Fe), zinc (Zn), copper (Cu)
    elements  Mainly used for regulating and manganese (Mn)
    (微量元素) (14)

     Each of these essential elements plays a specific role in the growth and development of plants.
    If any of them is in short supply, (15) will develop.

     The main functions of some major elements and the corresponding symptoms of deficiency:

    Element Form absorbed by plants Main functions Symptoms of deficiency

    Nitrogen Nitrate (NO3-) or For the synthesis of  Poor growth


    (N) ammonium ion (NH4+) amino acids, nucleic  (16) (萎黃病)
    acids and chlorophyll

    Phosphorus Phosphate ion (PO43-) A component of  Poor growth of roots


    (P) nucleic acids, ATP  Purple (17) on
    and cell membranes leaves

    Magnesium Magnesium ion (Mg2+) For the synthesis of  Poor growth


    (Mg) (18)  Yellow leaves

    Potassium Potassium ion (K+) Used in  Poor growth of flowers


    (K) photosynthesis and and fruits
    transport of  (19) leaves with
    substances brown edges

    Classroom worksheet 10 Nutrition and gas exchange in plants

    Practical 10.1 Investigation of the effects of different minerals on plant growth


    Refer to Coursebook p.10-6 and SBA Practical Workbook p.10-1.

    Results and discussion

     The seedling in complete nutrient solution (flask A) shows healthy growth, while other seedlings
    show poor growth or other symptoms of deficiency.

     The results show that deficiency in any essential minerals will lead to poor growth or deficiency
    symptoms in the plants.
