Plant Status Update #3

     Our beans are still developing very well. They have flowers blooming which means new beans will be made. Our plants take water from the soil through their roots and send it throughout the plant. The plants saves up the water and uses it for transpiration where water vapor is released into the atmosphere. Our plants look healthy because of the water they stored and the result of transpiration keeping it cool to prevent it from getting to hot. Our plants take carbon from the air and begin photosynthesis. The plants are consumed by organisms who use the carbon in their bodies to help them survive. Decomposers make deposition in the in the soil and get carbon from fossils or fossil fuels that remain in the earth. Our plants also look healthy of the carbon cycle. This takes carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and puts it through photosynthesis which gives the plants their lively green color and help them maintain their health. Our plants also play a role in the nitrogen cycle because of nitrification which involves nitrogen fixation. For example ammonia and decayed material in the soil affect our plants. Also denitrification is the release of the nitrogen into the atmosphere which our plants do. In conclusion, our plants are a big part to the atmosphere and environment around them.
