Student Blog Post Assignment #3 -Sayra

     This week I noticed that the plant has grown more from the last time we saw it which was when we planted it on the garden. It got a little bit taller but our plant is not supposed to be as tall as the other ones. Compared to the other plants, this one does not take up that much space. It does seem to be growing properly and it looks very healthy. For now it does look like its growing well since it is receiving what its supposed to.
     Our plant is collecting the water from the ground which means that it does participate in the movement of water in the water cycle.  The plant keeps the water with it and some distributes itself to the leaves. With that it transfers to the atmosphere by evaporation or transpiration. Everything repeats itself when there is rain. Our plants seem to have been in the water cycle because of the water that can be seen in the leaves.
      They also take part in the carbon cycle. It is also filtered in the plants. They breath in and out the carbon dioxide and oxygen.  We breathe oxygen and exhale carbon. All of that goes through our plants and then it goes to the atmosphere.
       It also takes part in the nitrogen cycle. Nitrogen also goes to the atmosphere. If a plant dies it can be broken down to nitrogen or other things. The nitrogen goes to the ground and then goes back to the air.
