Edwin's Seed Story

Edwin's Answers
  •  What have you learned?
           Edwin: I have learned to how to maintain a plant healthy for a long period of time.
  • What surprised or amazed you?
           Edwin: How fast my plant grew
  • What made you laugh?
           Edwin: Nothing much
  • What made you pause or think deeper? 
            Edwin: How the seed only needed some (not a lot) sunlight to grow when it was in the cabinet at first 

       For my interview i chose to interview Edwin Angeles. He said that he learned a lot from this lab. What he told me that he learned was how to maintain a plant healthy for a long period of time. What he said surprised him was how fast the plant grew. He said that nothing really made him laugh because it wasn't funny to him. In the end I asked him what made him think deeper. He said that how the seed only needed very little sunlight when to grow when it was in the cabinet in the beginning when we first started the lab.

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
