This week, 10/17/16, my group and I have noticed several changes in our plants. First, our plant's leaves has grown significantly as well as doubled in number of leaves. Also, we've seen at least 5 holes in the plant. Overall our plant is only about 12 cm tall with about 7-8 leaves all around 6 cm long.
Our plants participate in the water movement by taking in the water from the earth. By taking in the water it helps the plant grow causing the growth in number of leaves and height.
By taking carbon in from the atmosphere, my plant is contributing to the carbon cycle. The plant also takings in and breaks down natural carbon with it's roots.
My plant also contributes to the nitrogen cycle in a few ways. The plants take in nitrates and ammonium as well as releasing organic residue into the earth.
