- All minerals and most vitaminsarrow_forwardComparison Between Plant and Animal Nutrition. Nutrient is defined as any substance required for growth, development and maintenance of an organism. There are two types of organisms based on their nutrition. Those that are capable of producing their own food are called autotrophs. heterotrophs are those that cannot. For plants, The nutritional requirements include water, carbon dioxide (for photosynthesis), and essential elements like the micronutrients and the macronutrients. The micronutrients comprises 0.5% weight of the plant's dry weight. These include Chlorine, Iron, Zinc, Cobalt, Molybdenum and Boron. Macromolecules, on the other hand, include Carbon, Hydrogen, Nitrogen, Macromolecules would include Carbon, Hydrogen, Nitrogen, Potassium, Magnesium and Sulfur. Plants get to absorb these nutrients through the symplast route which uses the root systems to bring these nutrients from the soil and the apoplast route which moves nutrients through the cell wall and intercellular spaces…arrow_forwardThe primary function of a macronutrient is to do which of the following support brain development regulate blood sugar provide energy or reduce cholesterolarrow_forward
