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.

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.

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.

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.
