TSOTS #3 Will B

This week our crop of kale was raided by a variety of insects and mice/ birds. Our group has had to replant and have one remaining plant growing. Our groups single plant is leafy green and has a red/purple stem and is about 7 inches tall. The plants role in the water  movement is its transpiration. the plant takes in some of the water we give it and the other percentage transpirates. We can see this in the plants growth. Another cycle our plants go through is the carbon cycle. Through photosynthesis the plants take in carbon dioxide and combine it with water to make sugars and oxygen. I have seen this in our by because its growing. We can see the nitrogen cycle in our plants growth. The plants absorb the nitrates from the soil into their roots.

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...

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.

SOTS #5!

I interviewed Caleb Spencer from first period. My first question was how did you enjoy the garden? He said it was cool because he interacted with nature. Second question was if he ever got mad while growing plants. He said he didn't "there just plants." What other life did you see in the garden I asked him. Caleb mentioned chickens and bugs such as beetles. My fourth question was what do your plants look like now. He said they've covered in weeds and grass. My final question was did you like growing. Caleb said yes it was fun since he could be outside.
