Plant Update #5

New anatomical structures on our plants include small white flowers and more leaves.  I think that the small flowers will perform photosynthesis, which will provide our plants with more energy.  Our plants can increase their numbers by getting more water and reproducing seeds, which would lead to more of our plants growing.  Some factors that limit the number of bean plants that could grow in each garden box are other plants and weeds competing for water and energy from the sun, and organisms living within the garden. Some of the organisms living in the garden are eating the leaves of our plants.  I think that the carrying capacity in one garden box for Phaseolus vulgaris is 50 plants.  I think this because there are also other weeds and plants growing in the garden, and there is probably no room for any more than 50 phaseolus vulgaris plants.
