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.
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.
