List three differences between micronutrients and macrountrients of plants.

Answer»

Differences between Macro nutrients and Micro nutrients : 

Macro nutrients:

• They are present in plants in relatively large concentrations. 

• Their concentration per gram of dry material is at least 1 mg.

• They are often called major elements or macro nutrients. 

• They build up the body structure and different protoplasmic constituents. 

• Some of the macro nutrients contribute to the development of osmotic potential in the cells.

• They are not toxic in slightly excessive quantities.

Micro nutrients:

• They are present in plants in very small amounts. 

• Their concentration is less than 1 mg per gram of dry material. 

• They are known as trace elements or micro nutrients. 

• They do not play such a role. 

• They do not play any role in the development of osmotic potential in the cell.

• They show toxic effects in slight excesses.
