Blog Post Assignment #3- Kylee Bourbon

1. Throughout this week, I have noticed that our plants have gotten much bigger.  Our plants have large green leaves that don't have straight edges. Overall, our plants look much healthier then they did the previous week.

2. Our plants play a role in the water cycle because they absorb water to help them grow and use it in a process called photosynthesis. Water from rain and other sources has probably helped the notiecable growth in our plant.

3.Plants play a key role in the carbon cycle. They take carbon out of the atmosphere and combine it with water and energy from the sun in the process of photosynthesis to create sugars and oxygen molecules. Because of the carbon cycle, our plants have been able to grow more because of the ways our plants use the carbon.

4. Nitrogen also plays a very important role in the growth of our plants. Nitrogen is a major component of amino acids, which are the building blocks of proteins. Without nitrogen, our plants probably wouldn't be alive right now. Also, our plants take nitrates out of the soil and use them to make chlorophyll, which is why the color of our plant leaves are green.
