Student Blog Post Assignment #3 - Jacob



       The plants have made some changes the last time we check on them. The plants have gotten bigger, there were bite marks on some of the leaves, and other plants that are trying to take the space that our plants are using. The stems of our plants have started to turn purple when they were green and white the week before.
       Our plants take in water through the roots which is then transferred through the stem and the whole plant. Some of the water is stored inside the plant. The water on the leaves is transferred back into the atmosphere by transpiration or evaporation. The whole process is started when it rains and the water is transferred back to the ground.
     Our plants also take part in the carbon cycle as well as the water cycle. Carbon is cycled between the atmosphere and a body of water. Plants inhale the carbon dioxide and exhale oxygen.
     The nitrogen cycle is another cycle that plants do. Nitrogen flows through the atmosphere and the ocean. When a plant die other plants break it down into nitrogen and other materials. That nitrogen is then transferred into the ground then filtered back into the air.
