Blog Post Assignment #3

After a week since we transfer our Brassica Oleracea  into the soil. In our plants we see that they have grown somewhat from their little seeds but not an enormous change. It now has 4 little leaves and is growing larger. It’s also turning a darker green and looks healthy. Our plant participates in the movement of water in the biosphere by taking in water through their roots and and sending it to the top making it grow. Its important that there's water in the atmosphere because it helps our Brassica to grow more. Water takes a big part in helping our plant without it our plant would not even survive or grow. Our plant take part in the carbon cycle by taking in carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and spitting out oxygen. The affect the environment because other living things and animals need oxygen to survive. Their part in the carbon cycle helps them grow because by taking in carbon dioxide it helps them grow and survive. Without our plant there would be too much carbon in the atmosphere and not enough oxygen. Our plants take part in the nitrogen cycle by taking in nitrate and letting out ammonia. The ammonia then turns into nitrate and the plant absorbs it again like in the beginning.
