Story of the seed #3

story of the seed #3

1. There has been some recent changes in our plant over about 2 weeks. Much more grass has grown around the plant,  it's gotten much bigger, and it is one of the biggest plants in the garden. Our plant has grown a lot since we first started growing it and is in great shape.
2. Almost all living things have jobs or roles, one of our plants roles is in the water cycle with transpiration.  This process is where moisture is carried through the plants starting from the roots to pores under the leaves, where then it changes to vapor, then released into the atmosphere.  The water cycle makes our plant more green, healthier, and bigger. Our plant participates in the carbon cycle by being involved in photosynthesis, which is when the plant takes in carbon dioxide and water using chlorophyll in it’s leaves and energy from the sun, it releases oxygen, water vapor, and sugars.  Our plants role in the carbon cycle relates to changes in it’s looks by helping it grow and keeping it alive.  Also, without photosynthesis the plant would not be able to feed itself, causing it to die.  Photosynthesis has definitely helped our plant get a lot bigger. Our plant’s role in the nitrogen cycle starts with bacteria.  Bacteria helps change the nitrogen so plants can use it.  Animals then will get nitrogen from the plants that will absorb it.  Nitrogen also relates to the plants growth because without nitrogen, plants would not survive. It helps make the chlorophyll in our plant which works with photosynthesis to make it’s food and energy
