Name the substances that plants absorb from the environment.

Plants, like all living organisms, are characterized by the implementation of metabolic processes. For their course, an indispensable condition is the receipt of organic and inorganic substances from the environment. So, absorbing carbon dioxide, plants, due to their physiological characteristics, can convert it into oxygen in the course of specific unique reactions of photosynthesis. At the same time, plants themselves need oxygen to ensure the flow of the act of respiration, as well as water and mineral compounds of the soil.
