1981). Soil type does not appear to influence growth or development to any marked extent as a wide range of soil types has been found suitable. Nutrients naturally found in soil are very essential for the growth of plants. However‚ sometimes these nutrients in the soil might not be sufficient to stimulate the plant growth. This is where fertilizers‚ the nutrient supplements for plant come handy. There are two types of fertilizers which are mostly used by plant and they are organic and inorganic fertilizer

Four ( Check Nutrition Unit 21) Define metabolism and describe the two forms; Anabolism and Catabolism and give examples of each? Metabolism: Every time food is swallowed‚ the body works hard to process the nutrients that have been consumed. Long after the food is digested‚ the nutrients the body has now eaten become the building blocks and the fuel of the body to keep it going. The body gets the energy it needs from food‚ and this is called metabolism. Metabolism is a collection of chemical reactions

bodies of water receive excess nutrients that stimulate excessive plant growth. Eutrophication results from continuous pollution in the form of agricultural run-offs or sewage outflows. Fertilizers and sewage are both rich in nitrogen and phosphorus‚ which are both nutrients essential for plant growth. However‚ these nutrients are typically low in content in aquatic environments‚ which limits the growth of algae and plants‚ but with an increased amount of these nutrients‚ more plants are able to grow

many plant nutrients from the soil. We put plant nutrients into the soil by digging compost and fertiliser into it. A great deal of organic plant food such as compost and manure is necessary for the plant. When the bed is dug over‚ 4 kg of compost or manure per square meter (m2) of ground can be dug into the soil. By the way‚ 1 m2 equals the size of a square meter‚ the sides of which consist of spades. Compost and manure do not‚ however‚ provide the cabbage plant with enough plant nutrients. It also

Circulatory system is an organ system where nutrients pass through. Cardiovascular and lymphatic systems make up the complete circulatory system. Arteries‚ veins‚ and the heart are the main organs in the circulatory system. Examples of nutrients that are passed through are electrolytes‚ amino acids and lymph. Also other substances passed through the specific organ system are gases‚ hormones and blood cells to and from cells. The reason the substances are passed through the circulatory system is to

poor citizens turn to agriculture for feeding their families. Farmers use agricultural settlements and then cut down acres of land to use for agricultural farming. Once they have cut down the trees the farmers burn the stumps which releases certain nutrients that sustain the life of the crops which is called “Slash and Burn” agriculture. The problem with this type of
