5 basic needs of survival for an organism explained in detail
Light - Without light, plants will starve. Plants need light so they can make their own food through photosynthesis.
Water - Plants need water to help spread nutrients around the plant. Water moves from the roots of the plant, up the stem, and into the leaves. The water carries nutrients from the soil and spreads the nutrients throughout the plant.
Air - Plants need air to make food. Plants use air to create their own food through photosynthesis. They use the carbon dioxide in the air to make yummy sugars and starches for the plant to eat.
Space - All plants need space to grow in order to survive. The leaves on branches will not grow without room. The roots also need space to grow. If plants are too close, the roots cannot grow enough, and the plant will not grow as big.
Warmth - Plants grow well in certain temperatures, depending on the plant. Some plants can survive in colder temperatures, like cedar trees. Others can survive in warmer temperatures like the desert. Either way, both need some heat in order to survive because if it gets too cold, the plant begins to shut down.
