Macronutrients: national park service manager from killing, california (n,p,s,mg,k,ca) Flat bottom cute men move chlorine in the zone (fe,b,cu,mn,mo,cl,ni,zn: no potatoes kindly manage sprouts (n,p,k,mg,s) Cute females can move boys zippers manually (cu,fe,ca,mo,b,zn,mn: north korea makes cars smell moldy (n,k,mg,ca,s,mo) Fat bottom cute monkey"s at the zoo (fe,b,cu,mn,zn) Same as air pressure to a tire: osmosis water goes into sell (low salt to high salt areas, gives plants its rigidity, driving force of growth. Wilting lose turgor and plant becomes droopy due to plasmolysis of individual cells. Translocation movement of water up stems, up through the xylem: woody stem goes up sap wood of xylem, recognize sap wood by whiter color. Positive water pull it: negative pressure and suck it (water bottle) Cohesive theory - suck water up xylem straws because water is cohesive. 3 numbers percent of content in the bag: npk (nitrogen, phosphorous, potassium, high nitrogen vegetative growth (leaves and stems)
