How do Plants Get Food?

Photosynthesis is an energy making process used by plants and other organisms to convert the sunlight energy into chemical energy that can be used to fuel the organism's activities. The chloroplast inside the green leaves of plants is the 'workshop' where the photosynthesis takes place. Water is supplied to the leaves by the roots and carbon dioxide is absorbed from the air through tiny pores on the lower side of the leaf. Both these are broken down into the elements hydrogen, carbon, and oxygen with the help of chlorophyll and sunlight. Plants build 'glucose' from these elements and oxygen is released in the atmosphere as a by-product.

How do Plants Get Food?

Green plants use water, nutrients, and a green matter in their leaves called 'chlorophyll' to produce their food. Normally water and nutrients are absorbed from the ground through their roots. Some plants. However, have developed other methods for obtaining water and nutrients. Many tree-dwelling plants make funnel shaped 'containers' with their leaves to catch water. Unlike animals, plants produce their own food and except for a few carnivorous plants, do not eat other organisms. Carnivorous plants use their digestive juices to convert the insects, caught in their folding or sticky traps, into nutrients.

Emma Maersk Acciden

Going eastwards on 1 February 2013, she suffered a damaged stern thruster and took on so much water in the Suez Canal that she became unmaneuvrable, and tugs towed her to Port Said to offload 13,500 containers, drain and be investigated by divers. She has not been in danger of sinking. On 15 February 2013, Maersk Line confirmed that she was about to leave Port Said under tow to a yard for further assessment and repair. On the 25th of February she reached the yard of Palermo (Italy) where she is scheduled to stay 4 months.
