Question

What must the pea and lettuce plants take up through their roots to perfum photosynthesis

Answer 1

Answer: The pea and lettuce plants are leguminous plants.

Explanation:

The pea and lettuce plants must take nitrogen from the soil which they get after the symbiotic association with the nitrogen fixing bacteria. Nitrate and ammonia are the two components of nitrogen that can be taken from the soil and used as a source of nitrogen. Nitrogen is required for the growth of plant and it is the important component of chlorophyll pigment. Chlorophyll pigment is necessary for the process of photosynthesis in which the chlorophyll pigment traps sunlight energy that is involved in the splitting of molecule of water into hydrogen and oxygen.
