==Key Stage 3==
===Meaning===
Plants need certain nutrients which they cannot make themselves. They get these through the roots.

===About Plant Nutrition===
: [[Plant]]s get [[mineral]]s and [[water]] through the [[root]]s, which are both essential for [[photosynthesis]].
These are the most important minerals you should know:
*[[Nitrate]]s - Which are needed to make [[protein]]s.
*[[Phosphate]]s - Which are needed for [[photosynthesis]] and [[Aerobic Respiration|respiration]].
*[[Potassium]] - Which are needed for [[enzyme]]s in the [[plant]] to work.
If there are not enough of these nutrients in the soil the plant will become unhealthy.
*Not enough [[nitrate]]s - The [[plant]] will have yellow [[Leaf|leaves]] and stop growing.
*Not enough [[phosphate]]s - The [[plant]] will have purple [[leaf|leaves]] and the [[root]]s will not grow.
*Not enough [[potassium]] - The [[leaf|leaves]] will be yellow with dead patches.
