Blog post assignment 3

I did not notice any differences in our group’s brassica oleracea plant. The broccoli is doing well, it’s getting larger and the leaves are turning a darker shade of green. The butterflies haven’t got to it yet and there were not any weeds invading it’s space.  My plant will absorb the that is given to it and that is it’s role in the movement of water in it’s cycle. The water changes how the plant will grow, without it it will die. The water is a major part in making sure the plant actually grows which it has been doing. The plant takes in carbon dioxide and photosynthesizes in the carbon cycle. The plant needs sunlight to survive because it gets all of it’s energy from photosynthesis. The plant takes in nitrate in the nitrogen cycle which takes place through assimilation and then the plant releases ammonia and then ammonia turns into Nitrate and then back into the nitrate that the plant absorbed before.
