will butzow-spba #1

My name is William Butzow. I live in San Jose California. My experience with growing plants is very little. My mom grows a small herb garden and cooks with them from time to time. Our herb garden consists of mint, basil, oregano and parsley. No one I know in my family or even extended family has much experience with gardening. Even though I have family in Montana they did not farm. I help my mom cook sometimes but that doesn't require much insight to plants or farming. I am excited to learn about kale and see it grow.

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.

jacks seed story/ wills stots #5

I interveiwed Jack Panighetti for story of the seed #5. first question, what surprised you during the year? Jack: I was surprised when we saw the onion cell under the mircoscope. Will: what was the hardest project we've done so far? Jack: the hardest project I've done so far is when we repaired and painted the chicken coop. it was difficult because my partners did'nt show up some times and the hay was hard to get out. Will: what have you learned about growing plants? Jack: Over time I have learned that the plants need time to grow and you have to check up on them to make sure the weeds are not stealing water from our plants. Will: that's the end of our interveiw, thanks.

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...
