This week, I have noticed a significant change in my plant. The stems and leaves have grown dramatically. The leaves are bright green and I noticed little holes which mean insects have been eating the plant. The stem of my plant is very white which is easy to see in the leaves.
Plants obviously need water to survive, they play a very important part in the water cycle. They take the water through their roots up to the pores, where it changes to water vapor, then it is released into the atmosphere through transpiration. This is process is essentially evaporation of water from plant leaves. Our plants have the ability to grow through this process.
Our plants are also apart of the carbon cycle.They absorb carbon dioxide from the air, and through photosynthesis, release oxygen back into the atmosphere. Photosynthesis is the process where plants use sunlight to synthesize foods from carbon dioxide and water. This week, our plants are using carbon dioxide and sunlight to create their own food which helps them grow stronger and become healthy.
Finally, the Brassica Oleracea uses the nitrogen cycle. Using assimilation, plants can take in nitrates from nitrogen to make nucleic acids, amino acids, proteins, and chlorophyll which is necessary parts for a plant to survive. This process has affected my plant because it helps the plant go through photosynthesis.
