  INTRODUCTION  Plant nutritionis the study of the source, mode of absorption, and metabolism of various inorganic substances (minerals) by plants for their growth, development, structure, physiology, and reproduction.  Plant nutrition is a study of the elements and compounds that are necessary for its growth.

  PHOTOSYNTHESIS:PROCESS OF FOOD PREPARATIONIN PLANTS

  Photosynthesis - Foodmaking process in plants :- Photosynthesis is the process by which plants prepare their on food by using sunlight, water, carbon dioxide and chlorophyll. Photosynthesis take place in the leaves. i) Sunlight is obtained from the sun. ii) Water is absorbed by the roots and transported to the leaves. iii) Carbon dioxide is taken from the air through small pores in the leaves called stomata. iv) Chlorophyll are the green pigments present in the leaves.

   The modeof taking food by an organism and its utilization in the body is called nutrition.  3) Modes of nutrition :- There are two main modes of nutrition in living organisms. They are autotrophic nutrition and heterotrophic nutrition.  i) Autotrophic nutrition :- is nutrition in which organisms can prepare their own food. Since it is light dependant it is called Photoautotrophs  Organisms which can prepare their own food are called autotrophs(Dig:1).  ii) Heterotrophic nutrition :- is nutrition in which organisms get their food directly or indirectly from plants.  Organisms which get their food directly or indirectly from plants are called heterotrophs(Dig:2).

  SYMBIOSIS:Lichens  Mycorrhizal fungi formsymbiotic relationships with the roots of most plants, helping them to absorb water and nutrients from the soil.

  How nutrients arereplenished in the soil :-  Plants absorb nutrients from the soil. So the nutrients in the soil decreases. So farmers add manures and fertilisers to the soil to increase the nutrients in the soil.  The bacterium called rhizobium which lives in the roots of leguminous plants like grams, peas, beans etc. converts nitrogen from the air into soluble form in the soil and makes the soil rich in nitrogen. In return the plant provides food and shelter to the bacteria. So they have a symbiotic relationship.

  CONCLUSION  Plant foodpreparing process is photosynthesis  There are several mode of nutrition in plants.  Autotrophs, Heterotrophs, Parasitic, Symbiotic, Saprophytic are several modes of nutrition
