Carbohydrates???

[Tamalero]

Hi brothers, i have a question.

Any ferlitizers, say that have a lot of carbohidrathes to improve the health, and the growth, of the plant. But i read, that the plant, only can take the simple nutrients of the soil, (N,P,K,Mg,Mn,C ,etc etc).

My question is:

The plant can take complex nutrients, like the carbohidrates.

If can take this complex nutrients, can take all carbohydrates?

I listen, that, she can take any carbohuytes like Monosaccharides, but the disaccharides, and polisaccharides, she can´t take.

you have hear something?

Ok, thanks to wich i can help me

It is possible to foliar feed elements that will not fit through the casparian strip it the roots Suerte JK

Stick with the simplest sugars- those which are small molecules. These the plant can both uptake through the roots, and process easily as a source of raw carbon, which the plant then uses to put on mass and produce psychoactive resins and terpenes, which are responsible for flavors and aromas.
Molasses is the classic one that growers use most often. Make sure the label says 'unsulphured', and apply it at the rate of about a tablespoon per gallon of fertilizer solution, or in plain room temperature water.

Hello

I am not sure that Cannabis can take up sugars. I know most ORNAMENTAL and food plants cannot. What botanists and researchers HAVE found though is that ALL plants have complex relationships with the bacteria and fungi that occur in soil.

The fungi that are beneficial to plants actually penetrate the cell walls of the roots and become a sort of 'extended root system' for the plant. Why the fungi does this is get carbohydrates FROM the plant , because plants make alot of CARBOHYDRATES and fUNGI DO NOT, in return for this favor the fungi transports broken down nutrients to the PLANT because FUNGI are BETTER at breaking things down into component parts that most plants are.

AS ARE THE BACTERIA.

When we buy mollases or other carbohydrates to put into ou hydro or soil
The CARBOHYDRATES are usually to feed this large population of FUNGI and BACTERIA who in return feed your PLANT.

PLANTS never evolved to 'eat' carbohydrates becuase it is the main thing they produce from CARBON DIOXIDE.

Plants BREATH CARBON DIOXIDE IN and breath OUT OXYGEN.

We breath in [air, a mixture of gasses] for OXYGEN and breath OUT CARBON DIOXIDE.

Plants USE PHOTOSYNTHESIS to turn CARBON into sugars and starches, proteins , etc, to build itself.

We use a variety of much more complex things like KREBS CYCLE to make what we need out of food.

This is from BIOLOGY/CHEMISTRY ...
Water enters plant cells by moving from higher water potential to lower water potential. Water potential is composed both of solute potential(osmotic potential) and pressure potential, which in root cells is negative because of the suction force that originates due to evaporation in leaves. Capillary action contributes to the ascension of water in the xylem, but it does not help the water get there.

... on the absorption of solutes: ions are taken up through SPECIFIC transport. Each ion has a special transport protein for its uptake in the endodermis. Cations are usually taken up through uniporters, after being displaced from the binding to soil particles by H+ ions contributed by plant cells. Anions are usually taken up through symporters with H+. Not all particles in solution can be taken up by root cells: a specific transporter is needed for each substance. Root cells generally do not express the glucose/H+ symporter, because there is no need for it: there generally is no sucrose in the soil.

There are also some TESTS but read this page first.



Definition

Osmosis is the passage of water from a region of high water concentration through a semi-permeable membrane to a region of low water concentration.

The definition contains three important statements:

Osmosis is the passage of water from a region of high water concentration through a semi-permeable membrane to a region of low water concentration.

Osmosis is the passage of water from a region of high water concentration through a semi-permeable membrane to a region of low water concentration.

Osmosis is the passage of water from a region of high water concentration through a semi-permeable membrane to a region of low water concentration.
It does not matter too much which order you put these statements in. Nor does it matter if you write the definition as one sentence or three sentences. All that matters in your exam is that you make all three points when you explain what osmosis is.

Explanation

First the definition of osmosis:

Semi-permeable membranes are very thin layers of material (cell membranes are semi-permeable) which allow some things to pass through them but prevent other things from passing through.

Cell membranes will allow small molecules like Oxygen, water, Carbon Dioxide, Ammonia, Glucose, amino-acids, etc. to pass through. Cell membranes will not allow larger molecules like Sucrose, Starch, protein, etc. to pass through.[most plant cell membranes do not allow passage of big sugars, because they do not NEED them, they MAKE their own and so often do not have the right Ion passage receptor on the roots.]

A region of high concentration of water is either a very dilute solution of something like sucrose or pure water. In each case there is a lot of water: there is a high concentration of water.

Some teachers use the definition which starts "Osmosis is the passage of water from a dilute solution to a......" this means exactly the same as the definition I have given.

A region of low concentration of water is a concentrated solution of something like sucrose. In this case there is much less water.

So you could use the definition "Osmosis is the passage of water from a dilute solution through a semi-permeable membrane to a more concentrated solution.

Hi brothers.

Thanks to all. Southwind, thanks man, your explanation, was excelent.

Stinky, i have a ultimate questions, why only the plant can take the simple sugars?

Ok, thanks to wich i can help me

Bye

Ive read a botanist studie showing that some plant species, specially tuber ones, may uptake small amounts of monossacarides. But no any proof of sugar uptake by roots at any noticiable amount.

The study concentrates on the proccess by roots may uptake them, and it was fairly complicated. Roots arnt designed by that.
