AIPMT MODEL MCQ ON mineral nutrition

Plants are photosynthetic autotrophs that can produce all the
organic compounds they need from carbon dioxide, water, and
minerals, including a nitrogen source. They obtain energy from
sunlight, carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, and nitrogen containing
ions and mineral nutrients from the soil.
Plants explore their surroundings by growing rather than by
movement.Mineral Nutrients Essential to Plants Plants require 14 essential mineral elements, all of which
come from the soil solution. Several of these essential elements
fulfill multiple roles. The six mineral nutrients required in substantial amounts are called macronutrients; the eight required in much smaller
amounts are called micronutrien
