The Story of the Seed



Blog #4

1) Some abiotic factors my plant depends on are the sun, soil, and water because the sun gives the plant energy, the soil gives the plant its nutrients, and the water makes sure the plant is hydrated and some biotic factors the plant depends on are us, bacteria, and little mammals to distribute it's seed or bees to distribute it's pollen.

2) I know that my plant is in competition with other plants because they all have the same niche which is to produce food and to do that they have to compete with each other to get there resources and be able to make food and reproduce my plant's competition are the other plants in the garden bed from period 5.


3)The winners are identified by how healthy they are and if they reproduced and the losers are the unhealthy looking ones who look like they are about to die and haven't reproduced yet. Sometimes it can be hard to identify if all the plants look healthy or if all look unhealthy.

4) They are also involved in the process of photosynthesis which means they are slowly producing sugars and products which will effect the environment and other organisms in a good way by giving them resources to use.

5) It appears to be secondary succession because there was already soil and it didn't begin by lichens and it also didn't happen on just plain rocks so i believe it is a form of secondary succession.

Post #6 The Story Of The Seed

1) So when my plant uses Photosynthesis it makes energy for it self to survive. Photosynthesis begins when the plant receives water, sunlight, and carbon dioxide. After that it dos the process and releases oxygen because it doesn't use a lot of it and it also produces glucose or sometimes food like fruit because it uses it as energy. Then when the plant breathes out oxygen all the energy it made is used. It is used for plant growth, flower for\ation and fruit production. Since the energy is used for plant growth that means it has the energy of its cells to begin to multiply by the process of mitosis. The beginning of mitosis is interphase, when the cell is preparing itself to divide. Then comes prophase when the chromosomes of the cell are now visable. Then metaphase comes and the chromosomes align in the middle for the fibers to attach to them. Then anaphase comes and the spindle fibers begin to split the chromosomes in half. Then telophase and two nucleus have formed and the cell

Final Blog Post 1) The part of the plant with the biggest variation are the leaves because they come in many different sizes and shapes like on my plant it has oval leaves that are very large with green veins. The characteristic with the most variation is the stem of the plants. Some plants have normal green stems but most have purple stems with purple veins on the leaves. Also some variation are in the plants height. My plant is the shortest plant in the garden bed and the plant behind it is the tallest one and some are in the middle, but no brassica plant is the same height. 2) There is a lot of variability in the forms of the brassica plants because of genes and traits. The brassica plants used selective breeding to give their children different traits to see which have an advantage which is smart for the plants to do which changes up the plant's genes. With that the effect of descent modification happens and the new and original plants pass down their genes. But in the b

Blog #3 1) The changes I noticed this week was that the plant did grow a little, but it looked pretty dry like it needed some water and I also noticed that one of the stems with a leave on it had fallen and was really dry. Today  2) Their roles in the water cycle is transpiration of plants which makes the water go up in the sky for condensation. After seeing my plant today I guess it just did this process because of how dry it looked when I went to go see it.(View picture above) 3) Their roles in the carbon cycle is photosynthesis and plant respiration which lets carbon into the air. The plants are always doing plant respiration and photosynthesis so I don't think it had any affect on its physical appearance. 4) The role of my plant in the nitrogen cycle is plant consumption and organic residues which means they ate nitrogen and threw it out as organic matter. I think the fallen stem that fell off the plant is part of the organic matter and the plant will use it
