The following are the conditions required for nutrient uptake by plants:
1. Actively growing plants – anything that affects the metabolism of the plant will affect nutrient uptake. 2. Metabolic energy – plant roots must be able to respire and soils must have oxygen. 3. Root hairs – these are the most active points of nutrient uptake.
53
Carbon enters almost completely through _______ as CO2 with release of O2 produced during photosynthesis.
stomata
