Summary Introduction
To develop: A concept map to organize the nutritional requirements of plants.
Introduction: Nutrients are substances that are used by organisms for energy, development, and to perform various bodily functions. Nutrients are classified into two types, namely macronutrients and micronutrients. Macronutrients are nutrients that are required in large amounts, for example, carbohydrates, lipids, and proteins. There are nine macronutrients that are required by plants. Moreover, plants require six main elements of organic compounds and also potassium, calcium, and magnesium.

Jamil: The phloem is needed for cellular respiration as it transports the carbon dioxide to the leaves in order to perform cellular respiration. Shantal: The cambium is important for phossynthesis because it allows water into the plant which is needed as a reactant for photosynthesis.
