What are Plants?
Plants are amazing living things. They can breathe, grow and survive by themselves just like humans. Plants come in all different species, different colours, different shapes and different sizes. However, all plants must have a way of growing, thriving and surviving.
How do they grow?
Did you know plants provide all humans with oxygen so we can live? Thought we give something to the plants as well. When we breathe, we intake oxygen and let out carbon dioxide. Carbon Dioxide is humans' gifts to the plants so they can live also.
Plants amazingly absorb the sun's rays of light. Light is a source of energy for the plants. Water is another important element needed for plants. Combine three elements which are carbon dioxide, sunlight and water and photosynthesis takes place. Photosynthesis is a process in which all three elements act up to create food for a plant. Food such as carbohydrates, fibers and most importantly, sugar and starches.
There are nutrients in the soil of which also plants draw out to create their energy source. 16 special minerals are provided by the soil to our fascinating plants.
Plants can live, thrive and survive by using the nutrients provided in the world around them. Plants are wondrous living things and for them to grow strong and healthy they need nutrients from their environment and from ours. Plants grow tall and to their full height nature's help.
