Biogeochemical Cycles and Our Plants




 

After the first few weeks, our plant has made its way to being a beautiful green leafy plant. When we  observed our plant we noticed some changing factors. We have concluded that it  has grown much more than it was before it was placed in the garden. We can say the overall appearance of the plant has became bigger and the leaves are broader. With the help of the water cycle our plant looks healthy and very much alive. A plant needs water to grow it is very important, the water cycle introduces itself to a plant and the plant does its part to help the cycle continue. Our plant has used its water to grow, it takes it in from them soil using the roots and the water travels up the roots and usually stored in the central vacuoles of all the cells that make up the plant itself. The Carbon cycle is also introduced to plants in the garden,  the plants in the garden have run the biological carbon cycle using the process of photosynthesis to convert Carbon dioxide into carbon-rich carbohydrates and certain sugars to feed themselves. They not only feed themselves, also they make oxygen as a byproduct of photosynthesis. and elements essential for all life.  The nitrogen cycle also plays a factor in a plant’s life. After all plants are producers, and the plants sooner or later will eventually be consumed by biotic force. Eventually, the plants die and they produce wastes that contain nitrogen.  So During decomposition , these nitrogen compounds get decomposed by bacteria in the soil, releasing  them back to the cycle.
