Model Answer

Two minerals (other than nitrogen) that plants take up from the soil are phosphorus and magnesium (also iron, potassium, etc. are acceptable).

Explanation

This question is from Chapter 5 (Life Processes), specifically the section on autotrophic nutrition, where the textbook mentions that plants take up water, minerals (nitrogen, phosphorus, magnesium, iron, etc.) from the soil. Any two correct mineral names earn the mark. The source passages provided here don't detail this directly, but it is standard NCERT Class 10 content from Chapter 6 (Life Processes). Write just two mineral names clearly for full marks.
