Biogeochemical cyles

The changes that I have noticed about my plant this week is that larger, green leaves have grown and there are no signs of dead leaves.


The way my plants participate in the water cycle is that it collects chemicals,nutrients, and protein from the water through the roots of the plant through the stem and leaves. Precipitation is the role that gives the plants the ability to take in the water. If there is the no water the plants will not be able to grow and will slowly stop producing.


The way my plants participate in the movement of carbon in the biosphere is it takes in carbon dioxide and water to form sugar and oxygen. The plant then breaks down the sugar and oxygen to receive energy to grow. In the past week, my plants have received enough carbon dioxide and water to grow greatly in the past few weeks.


The way my plants participate in the movement of nitrogen in the biosphere, nitrogen fixation breaks down all the nitrates to obtain oxygen for the plants. Other plants that are not vegetables convert nitrogen to ammonia to turn it to nitrogen fixation since plants can not purely take in nitrogen.
