       One person that I know that has worked with plants is my mom she has had many experiences

with gardening. She has had a personal garden and also a garden at a school, her relation to me is that

she is my mother. My person experience with gardening has been limited to looking at my moms

garden and occasionally helping out.  Another experience I’ve had with gardening is trying to grow

small plants in my room however this usually doesn’t work out because I forget to water them. That

is someone that I know that has had experience gardening and my personal experience gardening.

STOTS #7

In flowers, the system of reproduction is like humans. The male organs on the plants will release pollen into the atmosphere and letting the wind carry it to wherever it may. Then, once the pollen lands on a female organ, the organ will take it in and combine it with is own genetic material to make a seed. When it is done making the seeds, they will be released into the wind, to land somewhere, grow, and repeat the process for an indefinate amount of time.

How does our garden grow. Well it would be necessary to evaluate the current condition of our brassica plants. They have grown taller and wider. Much like the other plants in the garden they’re thriving in green colorations. Unfortunately some appear to be eaten. All the plants are overshadowed by one group’s plant which is much larger than the rest. Now it is important to think more scientific. How are our plants growing is a more important question. Well through photosynthesis the plants obtain sugars to be used by the plants from its chloroplasts. Cellular respiration allows the plants to convert common energies into these nutrients. Much like how food makes a person grow, photosynthesis and cellular respiration makes a plant grow. Of course there is a further explanation of why these sugars makes a plant grow. With more energy comes a greater rate of cell division through mitosis. Mitosis creates myriads of more cells making a little sprout into a great tree.  PKG and Rubisco...

tsots #6 how does your garden grow?

1. How is your plant (or any plants in our garden, for that matter) getting bigger and adding biomass? Your explanation should correctly use the terms and concepts of  cell division (mitosis) ,  photosynthesis , and  cellular respiration? My groups plants have continued growing and gaining biomass through photosynthesis and cell division. The plants grow through photosynthesis by absorbing light water and CO2 and turning it into sugar and oxygen. The plants then use cellular respiration to break the sugar up and are captured as form of ATP. The plants also produce PKG and Rubisco during photosynthesis. Rubisco is a enzyme involved in the first major step of carbon fixation and PKG is used to convert bisphosphoglycerate into 3-phosphoglycerate in glycolysis. If a signal was sent to the nucleus to make more enzymes the plants would absorb more light energy.
