 To grow in biomass, our plant uses the energy it gained from photosynthesis. By creating ATP and releasing waste, cellular respiration is also an important part of our plants growth. Parent cells in our plant create sister cells by splitting, increasing the biomass of the plant by using mitosis.


Both enzymes that are made by the cell itself are PEPC and RuBisCo. The ribosomes in the cell translate a certain sequence of amino acids from genetic materials to make PEPC and RuBisCo. It then combines with other cofactors such as lipids and other materials found in proteins.

1.  Our plant grows in biomass by using photosynthesis to synthesis it's own food by carbon dioxide and water.  Photosynthesis is taken place in the green pigment chlorophyll and generates oxygen as a byproduct.  The ribosomes in the plant's structure creates proteins.  It also uses cellular respiration in it's process of growth by releasing waste and creating it's own energy.  Our plant also has the ability to divide itself by using the process of mitosis.

2.   The cells can make up enzymes by themselves, and they are used to process photosynthesis.  This allows them to turn the sunlight into the energy it needs.   The enzymes allow the plant to produce the ribosomes which create different kinds of proteins by amino acids and RNA.  Once the ribosomes and PEPC are done with this process, they then transformed in the Golgi.

1. Our plant uses photosynthesis to increase its biomass. This is done by using solar energy in order to produce glucose which is used to provide energy for the plant. Cellular respiration is also an important part of our plants growth. It produces ATP and releases waste. Parent cells in our plant create sister cells by splitting. Using mitosis, the plant increases its biomass. This is because it divides and produces more cells which leads to the plants growth.

2. The cell itself produces enzymes. Those enzymes are 
PEPC and RuBisCo. The ribosomes in the cell translate a certain sequence of amino acids from genetic material to make PEPC and RuBisCo. It then combines with other cofactors such as lipids and other materials found in proteins.

Assignment 6

1. Our plant uses the energy gained from photosynthesis to grow in biomass. Cellular respiration also plays a big part in helping the plant grow, creating ATP and releasing waste. Using this energy for mitosis, parent cells in our plant split to create sister cells, increasing the biomass of the plant.

2. PEPC and RuBisCo are both enzymes that are made by the cell itself. To make PEPC and RuBisCo, the ribosomes in the cell translate a certain sequence of amino acids from genetic material. It then combines with other cofactors such as lipids and other materials found in proteins.

Me: what did you learn? Charlie: I learned about how plants grow. Me: What happened that surprised you? Charlie: The plant actually grew. Me: What made you laugh? Charlie: Something that made me laugh was the people that i worked with. Me: What made you think hard? Charlie: How i had see how the water affected the seeds

Interview

I am interviewing Genesis Fernandez about her Story of The Seed project. What have you learned? "I've learned in general how a plant works. Basically its functions and the many positive and negative factors of its surroundings." What surprised or amazed you? "How fast the plant grew" What made you laugh? "Honestly, what made me laugh was my team. They barely did anything" What made you pause and think a little deeper? "It made me think deeper about photosynthesis.

Charlie's Seed Story

I interviewed Charlie Graff about the Story of the Seed. He learned how his plant, broccoli, grew and what it looks like in it's early stages. He learned about the carbon dioxide and nitrogen cycles and how it incorporates plants. He was amazed by the finished product from all the plants and how fast they grew. One thing Charlie thought about on a deeper level was seeing his team's plant grow each time they checked on it.
