Plant Update 3

Our bean plants are continuing to grow and develop. They recently had some flowers bloom which means new beans may come soon. Our plants absorb water from the soil and distributes it throughout the plant. The plant saves up this material to use to cool off later in the process of transpiration in which water vapor is released into the atmosphere. Our plant looks healthy as a result of the movement of water in the biosphere because it did not over heat as it used transpiration to cool itself off. Our plants take carbon from the air to preform photosynthesis. The plants are eaten by animals who consume the carbon to help their bodies. The plants also decompose to make deposition in the earth where fossil fuels or carbonate rocks are then formed. Our plant also looks healthy as a result of the carbon cycle because it is taking carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and is putting it through the process of photosynthesis giving it its vibrant green color. Our plants take up nitrogen from fertilizer, ammonia (NH3) from the earth, and nitrate ions (NO3-) and nitrite (NO2-) from the soil.
