       Our plants are constantly growing and gaining biomass. This is because of many processes. One of these processes is called cell division. Cell division (or Mitosis), is the process that the cells go through to get bigger. Mitosis occurs the chromosomes in the nucleus separate into two different pairs. The two sets then separate into two different cells with a nucleus each. Our cells also grow through photosynthesis. This process occurs when plants absorb sunlight. The sunlight is transferred through the plant until it reaches the chlorophyll. The chlorophyll is the part of the plant that completes photosynthesis.
