9 Nutrition and Gas Exchange in Plants
Plants can make their own food (in the form of (1) _______________) from
(2) _______________ _______________ and water using light energy through the process of
(3) _______________.
light energy
carbon dioxide + water carbohydrates + oxygen
chlorophyll
The light energy is trapped by the (4) _______________ in plants. (5) _______________ is
released as a by-product (副產物).
Plants absorb (6) _______________ (礦物質) from the soil. They are vital for the synthesis of
other materials needed by the plants.

For healthy growth, plants need to absorb a variety of (11) _______________ in the form of
(12) _______________ (離子) from the soil.
The elements that form these mineral ions can be divided into two types:
(13) _______________ elements (大量元素) and (14) _______________ elements (微量元素).
Examples of major elements and their importance on plant growth:
