What have you learned?- That making plants is a fun and cool experience
What surprised or amazed you?-That my plant actually survived all these months
What made you laugh?-That my plant actually survived all these months. haha!
What made you pause and think a little deeper?- A lot of the blog posts were hard and I had to think a lot during some of them

how does our garden grow #6
Cell division is characterised by the segregation of genetic material and the redistribution of cellular contents facilitated by the cytoskeleton. Plant cells derive from divisions in the meristems of developing organs. However, plant cells are enclosed in rigid cell walls, unable to migrate and change their location within tissues. plants have developed unique cytoskeletal arrays and molecular mechanism to determine the division plane very early in mitosis and to facilitate the synthesis and insertion of the partitioning cell plate at the end of cell division
Photosynthesis is a process used by plants and other organisms to convert light energy, normally from the sun.Although photosynthesis is performed differently by different species, the process always begins when energy from light is absorbed by protiens called reaction centres that contain green chlorophyll pigments.
Cellular respiration is the process of oxidizing food molecules, like glucose, to carbon dioxide and water.
The process occurs in two phases:

Cellular respiration is the process of oxidizing food molecules, like glucose, to carbon dioxide and water.
The process occurs in two phases:
- glycolysis, the breakdown of glucose to pyruvic acid
- the complete oxidation of pyruvic acid to carbon dioxide and water
In eukaryotes, glycolysis occurs in the cytosol.The remaining processes take place in mitochondria.

Living or not?
Hello guys, my plants are doing really good right now at the moment. It feels so good that I am growing good healthy food and it is going to be so fun to eat them later:)
so today I am really here to convince some people that plants are really living the main argument I would have if someone told me that plants are not alive is simply that they grow. Any living thing will grow maybe they grow 2 feet or they grow 5 feet, no matter what if they grow they will be considered a living thing.

Biogeochemical cycles and our plants
Overall the plants have changed quite a bit over the time we started the project. You can totally tell the difference from when we first started to now. The overall height has changed and a little bit of the width has changed since we have started this.
The water cycle has been affecting the plants by plants put down roots to draw water and nutrients up to the stems and the leaves, some of the water is returned to the air by transportation. during dry period, transportation can contribute to the loss of moisture in the upper soil zone.
The carbon cycle relates to the overall changes in the plants by the carbon from the atmosphere going to our plants through the soil and right back out back to the atmosphere, the cool thing is it does that same process through animal and the ocean but the most fastest biological cycle depends mostly on plants.
The Nitrogen cycle relates to the overall changes in the plants because the plants need the nitrogen to produce the Amino acids, DNA, and the proteins.

Bio of Matthew Anthony
Hello, my name is Matthew Anthony i'm 14 and i live in California, San Jose and i am inside Mr.Burschs biology class in 9th grade.
I have never really gardened that much but in my uncle buys tomato and cucumber seeds and he grows them inside our backyard because there is a lot of sunlight in there. When I get bored sometimes I will go outside and water the plants and make sure that they are in the sunlight and I find that fun.
