phloem the vascular tissue in plants which conducts sugars and other metabolic products downwards from the leaves.
chloroplast a plastid in green plant cells which contains chlorophyll and in which photosynthesis takes place.
autotroph an organism that is able to form nutritional organic substances from simple inorganic substances such as carbon dioxide.
germination the process by which a plant grows from a seed.
trace elements a chemical element required only in minute amounts by living organisms for normal growth.
macrominerals referred to as trace minerals, meaning they are present at low levels
macronutrients Nutrients needed in large amounts by the plant for its growth
