SOTS #3 Biogeochemical Cycles and Your Plants

  I’ve noticed that my kale plants are growing rapidly amongst grasses. It’s green and starting to show the texture of kale. Our plants are contributing to the water cycle by removing water from the ground and providing transpiration to the air. Due to them contributing to the water cycle they’re given the very life essential liquid, water. Without water they would shrivel up quickly. Our plants also contribute to the carbon cycle by taking in carbon and producing oxygen for other organisms to breathe. Due to them taking in carbon they grow being able to provide their own food source along with sunlight. Finally they contribute to the nitrogen cycle by taking in nitrogen from the soil and use it to help make their own food. Nitrogen is also passed on to other organisms that eat plants or when a plant dies and decomposes that nitrogen is reused by other plants. Without our plants taking a part in the nitrogen cycle they would die of starvation. This is why when one of the plants die it helps grow others.

Tsots #3 Zander Calfee

Zander calfee 10/22/19 Bio-1(1)        1 one change that I noticed was that out plant wasn’t getting bigger like before but our neighbor’s plant was becoming very big I think our plant is competing with the other plants and losing . 2. The plant’s role in the water cycle is transpiration they absorb water through the ground and then it evaporates through the leaves.  3. They absorb carbon through the air from animals carbon dioxide and then they give oxygen to the animals which make more carbon dioxide.i think the other plants big leaves are covering our plants leaves so it can’t get carbon dioxide  4.our plant uses nitrogen from the ground for energy than that energy is eaten by animals than they poop nitrogen which is absorbed through the ground. I think that are not getting nitrogen because the other plant is taking it from the ground.

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.
