The Story of The Seed

What changes do you notice in your plants this week? Describe the overall appearance of your plant. A: The plant is doing well. It's grown quite a bit and it's now green and leafy, but not as big as the other plants. How do your plants participate in the movement of water in the biosphere? How do your plants' roles in the  water  cycle relate to the changes you observed in your plants this week? A: Plants take in the water and have it go into the soil, allowing them to grow. The only reason why our plant has grown is because of the fact that they have been partaking in water from it's roots.  How do your plants participate in the movement of carbon in the biosphere?  How do your plants' roles in the  carbon  cycle relate to the changes you observed in your plants this week?A:  Plants intake the carbon in the air along with sunlight to allow photosynthesis. The fact that the plant is healthy shows that it is taking in carbon properly. How do yo...

We've noticed our plants getting much bigger and fuller. It's round and green  It's taking in water and carbon from the atmosphere to provide food and photosynthesis

One abiotic factor that our plant faces is the water. Water is non-living but is essential to all life on Earth, this plant is no different. if the plant doesn't get enough water then it will die, but if it gets too much water then it will also die. Its all about a perfect balance. A biotic factor that our Brussels Sprouts face are the other plants that our plant is growing next to. These other plants are all in competition to try to survive and and sometimes will end up getting another plant killed to survive. They might overcrowd a plant and take all its water, and while the first plant thrives the second is killed. This is just how I explained earlier, plants are always in competition for the most sunlight, the most water, the cleanest air. Plants are always trying to get the best of everything because they're trying to survive just like everything else. In nature this competition happens all the time and there is a very clear cut between winners and losers. Winners are ...

Our Brussels Spout plants have grown A TON it's actually insane how cool it is when plant grow. When we first planted the Brussels Sprouts they were just barely poking out of the ground with little thin brown arms that looked almost like grass. Now after a couple weeks they're really starting to look like real plants, they have some leaves and even a couple of flowers, not to mention that now the plants are actually green. There are a couple of different cycles that our Brussels Sprouts go through, one of them being the Water Cycle. The plant consumes water that it may get from rain and it gets used by the plant. Water is also evaporated off the plant and is put right back into the atmosphere to restart the cycle. This cycle just keeps repeating over and over in a perfect system. Our plant also goes through the Carbon Cycle, which is how carbon flows through the atmosphere. Our plant participates in this through a process of photosynthesis, which occurs when plants take in ...

An Abiotic factor that our Brussel sprouts depends on for survival is water. Water is a non living factor to the environment and everything in it. Plants and animals depend on it to survive animals to hydrate and help there prey/food grow and plants for the process of photosynthesis. A Biotic factor that some plants depend on for survival is human impact. Some plants depend on human impact get water and to be fed and grow in a healthy environment. Our plants are engaged in competition because there are multiple plants in one area and some plants are doing much better than others. Our plants are competing for room for their roots to grow, soil nutrients, water, and sunlight. Our plants are in completion with the other plants in it's garden bed competing for resources to survive. Winners and losers in this completion are determined by what plant grows and what plants don't. The winners and losers aren't always crystal clear even though sometimes they can be. This is true ...

Since we have planned our Brussel sprouts they have matured and developed tremendously. After we first planned them they had just started sprouting during break. But currently they have full, lush, green leaves and if you look closely you can see baby flower buds waiting to bloom where the Brussel Sprouts will develop. Our Brussel sprouts participate in the water cycle through the process of transpiration and water evaporation. When the plant is watered either from rain or by hand, the roots of the plants absorb the water and carry it up the xylem and phloem. This water is carried to small pores in the underside of our plants leaves. When this water under the leaves evaporates it is released into the biosphere and transpires into the clouds and collects there through the process of condensation, waiting to become precipitation and repeat the process. The process of the carbon cycle for a plant is the absorption of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, which is used for photosynthesis...

     Our plants appearance has changed over the time that we have planted them. The structure of the plants has matured along with larger leaves. Our plants participate in multiple cycles in the environment including the water cycle, carbon cycle, and nitrogen cycle. The water cycle connects to the plants because the plants intake water to grow and they gain water through precipitation. The carbon cycle is connected to the plants because the plants need carbon dioxide to convert it into sugar and oxygen. And lastly, the nitrogen cycle is connected to the plants because it is a main part of chlorophyll which allows plants to perform photosynthesis.

Q:What are some abiotic factors on which your plant depends for its survival? What about biotic factors that affect your plant? Describe some of these factors.A: Abiotic factors mainly include Water and the air quality (To give it proper nourishment and environment to grow), and Biotic factors include the soil and animals around it (Soil to let it grow and animals like earthworms not eating them) Q:How do you know your plants are engaged in competition? For what are your plants competing, and who is the competition?A: The plants aren't in super huge competition as they have the ability to have their own growing space, but they are also competing for amount of water and space in the garden. Q:How are "winners" and "losers" determined in this struggle? Is it always so clear cut who "wins" and who "loses?" What makes that determination complicated sometimes?A: It's not always clear cut who wins and loses, as smaller plants can still be he...
