The Story of the Seed



          Throughout this year-long lab, we will use the Brassica oleracea species to experiment and observe the growth and development of the plant. We will use the White Vienna Kohlrabi seeds.The seeds will be germinated and nurtured. It will experience outdoor variables, such as differing weather, animals, etc. We then will record data on our plants grown throughout the year.

            Blog Post #4 Abiotic factors  are non-living elements found within an ecosystem. There are six  abiotic factors  that  affect plant growth : air, water, space, temperature, light and soil (nutrients). These are the basic requirements that  plants  need to grow.  Some abiotic factors that affect my plant are soil, sunlight, and water. The soil is important because of the fact that it provides nutrients for my plant. Sunlight also provides nutrients. So my plant gets its nutrients from the sun and the soil.   Biotic factors are the non-living factors that affect organisms. Biotic factors include the a vailability of food. W hen food is in short supply, plants struggle to survive. They are therefore less likely to grow.  New pathogens and parasites is another factor. O rganisms have no resistance to new pathogens. This can reduce the healthiness, or even wipe out the plant. A third factor is n e...

this week the plant didn't change much besides in size. The  plant participated in the water cycle through transpiration.  In the biosphere, land plants absorb water through their roots and then transport this through their transport system to stems and leaves. This water is needed in  photosynthesis , which is the food production process for plants. Transpiration (evaporation of water from the surface of the leaf) then returns water back to the atmosphere and the cycle repeats itself. plants convert a tmospheric carbon dioxide to carbon-based compounds through  photosynthesis .  My pl ant participated in the water cycle through photosynthesis which is where plants combine carbon dioxide with water.  During this process, plants  cleave  the carbon from the two oxygen molecules and release the oxygen back into the surrounding  environment.  Plants are primarily responsible for the presence of atmospheric oxygen.   I n the nitrogen cy...

1) From what I've seen in our garden, most of the plants are dead or haven't grown. It is mostly filled with weeds and grass. It isn't adding much biomass at all. Photosynthesis and cellular respiration is often slowed when the temperature is cold. Photosynthesis is a process in which the plant takes in water, sunlight, etc to produce food/sugars for itself to gain biomass. Cellular respiration is the process that takes in sugars and nutrients to create ATP or energy. This process uses sugar and oxygen as well as sunlight, water, and carbon dioxide. Currently, its winter and the temperature is much colder. Sunlight isn't as abundant and the soil is dryer. We haven't received much rain either. Cell division or mitosis is also affected by the temperature. Temperature alters the rate of mitosis and the plants overall growth. 2) Plants contain enzymes for many reasons. Enzymes help break down fats, carbohydrates, and proteins. they speed up the process of nutrient int...
