Abiotic Factors that influenced our plant growth

We chose 3 abiotic factors that influence our plants growth:

1. Water- Water is essential for photosynthesis. Our plants need the right amount of water to grow properly. Under conditions of water scarcity, plant growth is severely impaired. On the other hand, too much water will cause waterlogging leaving the plant to die.

2. Oxygen- Oxygen is necessary for cellular respiration in the plants. Food materials are broken down in the process of respiration and energy is released in the form of ATP molecules. This is the valid form of energy for the living cells. 

3.Light-Adequate light is perhaps one of the most important factors influencing plant growth and it is the quantity, quality and duration of light exposure is what matters. Various light sources can be used to provide light to the plants and the sources of light can be classified as natural and artificial sources. The natural source of light is the sun whereas the artificial sources include various types of lighting equipment. Blue light is essential for the growth of the leaves whereas a combination of red and blue light promotes flowering of plants.
