ELSP #3

On Thursday March 15 of 2018 Elias, Yordi, Sergio, Miguel, Emiliano, Edwin and me helped Mr. Bursch in the garden. We pulled all the weeds out and we threw them into a cart and we pushed the cart into a small cubical where we dumped it. After we did that we all grabbed some shovels and started to bury it and after we got more weeds and put it on top and we buried it again and we continued to do that for a couple of times till the little cubicle was almost full. The next day which was Friday March 16 of 2018 we came back and we continued to pull the rest of the weeds from the garden. When we were doing that it started to rain which was good for the plants but bad for us but we continued to work and after a while we finished. After that we carefully trimmed a little bit of the grass so it could look nice and that’s all we did for the garden clean up.

In the flower dissection lab, I dissected a yellow flower under a 4x magnified microscope. The parts of the flower, shown below. I first pulled a pedal off the flower with a little bit of the stalk, exposing the stigma. I the continued by cutting the stalk away to show the filament and style. Reaching down, I have hit the ovules ovary and pistils
                                                       
                                                     
Due to the microscope being very Annoying and the images not functioning normally I could not get actual images. The dissection was quick and somewhat easy. Here are images that are accurately labeled. The images above are of the same family of flowers that I dissected I’m my, well, dissection.

                                Some of the abiotic factors are the soil and the weather conditions around the plant. Some of the biotic factors are the animals and insects interacting with the plant. For example the weather could help the plant grow a lot, or it could slow down the growth. An example of a biotic factor is the bugs in the area of the plant that would eat it. I know that the plants are participating because there are other plants in the same area that need the same things to survive. They are competing for water,sunlight, etc. The competition is the other plants growing in the same area. The 'Winners" are the plants that are able to grow more above the others. It is not always so easy to tell who wins and losses is that they could be growing at a very similar rate to each other. The plants are involved in the water , carbon, and nitrogen cycle. Some plants could be getting more water from the water cycle than others are. The plants were put there and are now growing, but before then were not plants living in that area. It seems more like secondary succession because there was no natural disaster that occurred.

The plant is getting bigger and is getting more boimass because it's getting water and sun and is giving off oxyge they also give out carbon dioxide not only at night but also during the day too. The leaves proide sugars, stems, and branches position the leaves light environment and transportation water as well as nutrients, and roots acquire water and nutruents and anchor the plant. Biomass is a distrubution that has been studied using 2 approaches. The first employs an allometric analysis. It focuses on the size of the organ and it also relates to the total size of the organism or the organ.

Story Of The Seed #6

1) So when my plant uses Photosynthesis it makes energy for it self to survive. Photosynthesis begins when the plant receives water, sunlight, and carbon dioxide. After that it dos the process and releases oxygen because it doesn't use a lot of it and it also produces glucose or sometimes food like fruit because it uses it as energy. Then when the plant breathes out oxygen all the energy it made is used. It is used for plant growth, flower for\ation and fruit production. Since the energy is used for plant growth that means it has the energy of its cells to begin to multiply by the process of mitosis. The beginning of mitosis is interphase, when the cell is preparing itself to divide. Then comes prophase when the chromosomes of the cell are now visable. Then metaphase comes and the chromosomes align in the middle for the fibers to attach to them. Then anaphase comes and the spindle fibers begin to split the chromosomes in half. Then telophase and two nucleus have formed and the cell has almost split. Finally cytokinesis is when the cell is now two cells in which this case it is now two plant cells.

2) Now when a plant wants to make more of the enzymes of Rubisco and PKG it the does the process of making a protein because those enzymes are in the category of proteins. So the nucleus does its normal function of sending signals and it sends signals for making proteins then it needs to create mRNA. So the RNA interprets a DNA sequence to make a complementary copy of mRNA. Then after making the specific mRNA it makes more of them and since the are tiny enough they leave the nucleus and go through the ribosomes. Then the ribosomes catch them and begin the process of transcription. After Transcription is done they new proteins move onto translation and and then go to the Golgi Apparatus so they can be put together and then are sent out to the outside of the cytoplasm to the rest of the plant.

Question 1)
In this school year me and my partner have found out that plants are capable of making there own food  through  photosynthesis.When the plant cells use Expiration and intake oxygen to produce energy and carbon dioxide

Question 2)
Phosphoglycerate is made by rubisco Is recycle to get more ribulose bisphosphate Which is needed for the carbon fixing cycle A protein synthesis is made when enzyme is needed The protein synthesis is made in the nucleus.before all of this happens a transcription of dna happens

How does your garden grow? 

        During this past school year my partner and I learned that plants make their own food through photosynthesis. When a plant's cells use respiration they intake oxygen and produce energy and carbon dioxide as a by-product. For each cell mitosis results in 2 daughter cells with this increase in the number of cells the plant grows.


       Most of the phosphoglycerate made b y rubisco is recycled to build more ribulose bisphosphate, which is needed to feed the carbon-fixing cycle  A protein synthesis occurs when a enzyme is needed. The protein synthesis happens in the nucleus and ribosomes. Before protein synthesis happens transcription has to make a copy of DNA. The 3 letter sequence was RNA and RNA had codons which correspond with amino acid. After, the RNA is sent to the ribosomes. Once that all happens translation creates the correct amino acids. Once that all happens you have a new enzyme ready to use again.
