Chapter 12.2, Problem 6A
Summary Introduction
Introduction:
Blood is an integral part of our circulatory system made up of the cellular components (red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets) and the plasma. The main functions of the blood include the transport, protection and the regulation. It carries oxygen and nutrients to every cell in the body and in turn, carries back carbon dioxide and other waste products.
It also helps in the transport of the hormones to their target cells. The white blood cells are involved in rendering immunity to our body by fighting against the invading pathogens. The platelets are involved in the process of blood clotting; thus, preventing blood loss. Blood also regulates the pH, temperature and the water content in the cells.

Apart from food, plants need other nutrients like water and minerals.
Nitrogen, a mineral, is an important part of all living cells. All organisms need nitrogen in order to grow and repair.
Although nitrogen exists in its elemental form in the atmosphere, it cannot be directly used by plants.
7 Where else can plants obtain their nitrogen from?
Plants make their own nitrogen.
B Plants get it from animals.
Plants get it from the soil.
D
Plants have special structures to break down
atmospheric nitrogen.
