1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:12,070 Plants Nutrition 2 00:00:12,070 --> 00:00:16,070 What do plants need? 3 00:00:16,070 --> 00:00:23,070 Water. Plants need water to grow and make their food. 4 00:00:23,070 --> 00:00:32,070 Minerals. Plants need minerals for the soil to make their food. 5 00:00:32,070 --> 00:00:41,070 Light. Plants absorb light from the sun to make their food and create oxygen. 6 00:00:42,070 --> 00:00:48,070 Temperature. Plants need a right temperature. 7 00:00:49,070 --> 00:00:58,070 Photosynthesis. It is the process that plants carry out to make their food. 8 00:00:58,070 --> 00:01:06,069 First, the roots absorb water and minerals from the soil. 9 00:01:06,069 --> 00:01:14,069 Then, minerals and water are transported to the leaves. 10 00:01:14,069 --> 00:01:25,069 The plants absorb carbon dioxide from the air and sunlight through the leaves. 11 00:01:25,069 --> 00:01:37,069 They use carbon dioxide, water, minerals and sunlight to make their food. 12 00:01:37,069 --> 00:01:43,069 During the process, they give off oxygen.
