Blog Posts Assignment #6

Today I checked on or plant, it has grown very much and has big leaves now. The process of cells dividing chromosomes to form two new identical cells is called mitosis. Mitosis is helping our plant to grow more and more over the weeks. Through photosynthesis the cells are made and are moved because of cellular respiration. Photosynthesis also helps or plant make food for itself. It begins when CO2 is absorbed in the leaves and H2O is absorbed in the roots of our plant and with the help of the sun they make sugars, the sugars make energy. Our plant would use Phosphoenolpyruvate carboxylase (PEPC) to take CO2 and  ribulose 1 reacts with oxygen and carbon dioxide. Respiration turns the sugars into energy for my plant.
