Macronutrients : They are the nutrients required by plants in large amounts. They are present in plant tissues in amounts more than 10 mmole kg–1 of dry matter. Examples include hydrogen, oxygen, and nitrogen.
Micronutrients : They are also called trace elements and are present in plant bodies in very small amounts, i.e., amounts less than 10 mmole kg– 1 of dry matter. Examples include cobalt, manganese, zinc, etc.
Beneficial nutrients : They are plant nutrients that may not be essential, but are beneficial to plants. Sodium, silicon, cobalt and selenium are beneficial to higher plants.
Toxic elements : Micronutrients are required by plants in small quantities. An excess of these nutrients may induce toxicity in plants. For example, when manganese is present in large amounts, it induces deficiencies of iron, magnesium, and calcium by interfering with their metabolism.
Essential elements : These elements are absolutely necessary for plant growth and reproduction. The requirement of these elements is specific and non-replaceable. They are further classified as macro and micro-nutrients.

Describe different types of food chains that exist in an ecosystem. [TS May-22||AP,TS Mar-19||AP May-17||AP,TS M-16||IPE-14] A: 1) Food Chain:
  1. Sun is the main source of energy to ecosystem.
  2. The biological systems of environment have several food levels called trophic levels.
  3. A trophic level is composed of organisms which have same source of energy and same number of transfering steps. There are generally 3 to 5 trophic levels.
  4. Sometimes, a given species may occupy more than one trophic level. Ex: Sparrow
  5. The food energy always passes from lower trophic level to higher trophic levels.
  6. When the food path is linear, the components resemble the links of a chain. Hence, it is called food chain.
