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 cycle, plants absorb the nitrates from the soil into
