SOTS Post #6

Plant growth begins with sunlight. Using sunlight the plant will create sugers by photosynthesis. The sugars will then be used in cellular respiration to make ATP or adenosine triphosphate. ATP is then used in mitosis or cell division which then increase the plant's biomass.

To achieve photosynthesis the cells that conduct it need enzymes such as PEPC and Rubisco. To create theses enzymes (proteins) the DNA must be read and copied. Once that has happened an enzyme will then be made using anywhere from 100 to 1000 amino acids which will give the enzyme it’s unique shape. The enzyme will then be used as a catalyst to conduct photosynthesis.

The Story of the Seed Interview

     When I asked Arial thought of this activity he responded with this. "I have not learned a thing from this project because i switched from 6th period to 5th period with almost no knowledge.Nothing amazed happened because i have been in agriculture in 5th grade and 8th.The only thing that made me think was the cycles i just had a basic knowledge of the plant cycle.It has given me more info about a plants cycle and therefor changing the train of thought on that subject."

assignment 3-4

The first week it was still growing from the seeds that we planted.  But as time went by the plant has grown a little and the leaves are healthy.  The plant drinks the water from the roots. Also the plants collect nitrogen to live. Plants take in the karbondioksid  and release H2O in the air. Nitrogen gives the plant protein to help it grow
