Student Blog Post Assignment #3
This week, my team went out to the garden to check on our brussels sprouts, which had been planted the previous week aside the other brassica plants. The overall appearance of our plant changed not only it's height but the size in general. Before we had planted our brassica in the garden, it was growing at a very slow rate because it was not tended the right amount of water and was not open to the environment. The stems of the plant have doubled in length and size while the levels still look similar to the plants previous size. The roots have defiantly expanded because the total surface area of the plant is huge. Also the color of the brussels sprout has matured and is now solid green, as well as the little brussels are starting to sprout. Overall, the brassica has not only grown, but matured as a plant in the environment.
Our brussels sprouts are participating in the movement of water by bringing in water to it's roots, specifically single cells that are stretched throughout the root hairs. But the main mechanism for plants to transport water is the theory of cohesion. This means that the evaporation of water from our plant surfaces. Water molecules stick together(cohere) and are pulled up by the brassica's tension, and then exerted by evaporation. This is related to our growing plant because transpiration helps it grow by bringing in water throughout the plant and draw in nutrients to maintain homeostasis at all times.
The brassica that we used in this project needed the carbon cycle to grow and maintain a certain level of homeostasis. The carbon atoms in the plant chained together to create carbohydrates that provided the brussels sprout with nourishment. Our plant definitely used photosynthesis to convert energy from the sun into carbon chemical molecules in order to grow. This carbon chemicals held the plant to grow and progress in the next phase of it's cycle. The garden certainly helped our plant grow through the carbon cycle because it has organic gardening techniques and fertilizers to give minerals and water correctly to our brassica.
Finally, we noticed that our brassica used the carbon cycle to grow and be more productive. The nitrogen cycle is very important because it is needed by many cells and proteins that plants obtain. Also, this cycle is also needed to make chlorophyll in plants which leads to the use of photosynthesis. Another major factor is that nitrogen creates amino acids which is a protein that aids the plant in growing. We saw as a group that the nitrogen cycle was helping our plant grow because in the nitrogen cycle, chlorophyll is created that colors the plant in green with it's pigment. As you can see this week was very important because the group got a better understanding on how the nitrogen, carbon, and water cycle effect our brassica in it's growth.
