How does aeroponics differ from traditional agriculture?

• Aeroponics uses soil, while agriculture does not.

• Aeroponics grows plants in air with misted nutrients, while traditional agriculture uses soil.

• Aeroponics uses only sunlight, while agriculture uses artificial light.

• Aeroponics is only used for growing trees.

Why are nutrients important for plant growth in hydroponic systems?

• They provide water for the plants.

• They supply essential minerals and elements that plants need to grow.

• They help plants breathe.

• They keep the roots warm.
