New cards
3
Essential nutrients
________ can not be synthesized by the organism.
New cards
4
Nod factors
________, in turn, bind to signaling proteins on the membrane surface of root hairs.
New cards
5
rhizobia
When ________ contact the flavonoids, the bacteria respond by producing sugar- containing molecules called Nod factors.
New cards
6
uptake occurs
Most nutrient ________ just above the growing root tip, in the region called the zone of maturation.
New cards
7
Leghemoglobin
________ is related to the hemoglobin at carries oxygen in your blood.
New cards
8
Hydroponic growth
________ takes place in liquid cultures, without soil, so researchers can precisely control the availability of each nutrient.
New cards
9
loss of nutrients
The ________ via the movement of water through soil is called leaching.
New cards
10
Carnivorous plants
________ trap insects and other animals, kill them, and then digest the prey to absorb their nutrients.
New cards
11
parasitic plants
Some ________ are non- hotosynthetic and obtain all of their nutrition by tapping into the vascular tissue of the host individual they are heterotrophs, organisms that obtain food by consuming other organisms.
New cards
12
Proton pumps
________ aids in the absorption of certain ions by establishing a relatively high concentration of protons on the outside of root epidermal cells.
New cards
13
Cation exchange
________ occurs when protons or other soluble cations bind to negative charges on soil particles and cause bound cations.
New cards
14
Leghemoglobin
________ is important because nitrogenase is poisoned by the presence of oxygen.
New cards

Some parasitic plants are non
hotosynthetic and obtain all of their nutrition by tapping into the vascular tissue of the host individual they are heterotrophs, organisms that obtain food by consuming other organisms

16
Macronutrients
Plants need relatively large quantities of certain elements in the soil; these elements are called ___
New cards
17
limiting nutrients
their availability limits plant growth
New cards
18
mobile nutrients
they are readily transported from older leaves to younger leaves when they are in short supply-so older leaves deteriorate first when these elements are scarce
New cards
19
Immobile nutrients
stay tied up in older leaves
