Nutrient Transfer

Nutrient transfer refers to the process by which essential nutrients move from one organism or part of an organism to another, supporting growth, repair, and overall function. In ecosystems, plants absorb nutrients from the soil, which then travel through their tissues to other parts like leaves and roots, providing energy and building blocks for health. When animals eat plants or other animals, nutrients transfer further up the food chain. In the body, nutrients are transported via blood or other fluids to cells needing them, ensuring proper operation and maintenance of biological processes.
