Question
Answer
what are the 4 minerals which plants need?   -nitrates -phosphates -potassium compounds -magnesium compounds  
🗑
what are nitrates used for?   to make proteins for growth  
🗑
what are phosphates used for?   -in respiration (releasing energy) -growth, especially in roots  
🗑
what are potassium compounds used for?   in respiration and photosynthesis  
🗑
what are magnesium compounds used for?   in photosynthesis  
🗑
what does mineral deficiency mean?   when a plant doesn't have enough of a certain mineral  
🗑
what are some symptoms of plants when there's no nitrates?   -poor growth -yellow leaves  
🗑
what are some symptoms of plants when there's no phosphates?   -poor root growth -discoloured leaves  
🗑
what are some symptoms of plants when there's no potassium?   -poor fruits and flowers -discoloured leaves  
🗑
what are some symptoms of plants when there's no magnesium?   yellow leaves  
🗑
explanation of how nitrates are used   nitrogen in nitrates used to make amino acids amino acids join together to make different proteins such as enzymes  
🗑
explanation of how phosphates are used   phosphorus in phosphates used to make cell membranes and DNA DNA carries genetic information  
🗑
explanation of how potassium is used   helps make some enzymes enzymes speed up chemical reactions such as photosynthesis and respiration  
🗑
explanation of how magnesium is used   makes chlorophyll molecules  
🗑
what is active transport?   when special carrier molecules take mineral ions across plant cell membranes  
🗑
how do we know that energy is needed for active transport?   because an increase in the uptake of minerals is matched with an increase in its respiration rate  
🗑
what are the minerals absorbed against?   a concentration gradient  
🗑
what do plants abosorb in different amounts and types?   minerals  
🗑
what do plants do with these minerals when absorbing them?   select the minerals it needs  
🗑


   

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
