The story of the Seed

       When I went to go look at my plant after many weeks, to my surprise I did not see much growth from our plant. It has not grown as much as I would like and the bottom leaves are starting to turn yellow and thanks to our snails they have holes all over it. Even though it looks like it has been slowly dying it has grown little.       Some of the main resume why the plant has been able to grow from a seed smaller than the ball of a ball point pen to a 2-3 foot wide plant. Well... there are actually a couple reasons. The main resumes is that when the cells in a plant are active(when the plant is not died) the cells start to grow larger so they will have to start splitting themselves into 2 different cells. This processes is called mitosis.In order for the plant to go though this over and over again with all of their cells duplicating it takes lots of energy which the plants get my doing cellular respiration and photosynthesis.        In photosynthesis happens in the chloroplast.

When i went to look at our plant, it looked to be dying. There are many holes throughout the plant due to bugs eating it. The plant used special cytoskeletal arrays to determine the division early in mitosis. Our plant also used photosynthesis. They use the sunlight to get foods from carbon dioxide and water. Photosynthesis in plants involves the green pigment, chlorophyll.
