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 the sunlight hits the chloroplast it causes the specific enzymes to start breaking apart the oxygen from the hydrogen. While the oxygen is released to the atmosphere the free, while the free electrons go down to a place that we like to call the electron transport chain. When the hydrogen ions and the electron energized by light come to together to make NADP into NADPH. Then they take the ADP and makes it into ATP which takes place in the thylakoid membrane.
When their is not enough sunlight to be able to do photosynthesis the plant takes their glucose and their oxygen and put it though a process know as cellular respiration. This processes happens in the plants mitochondria. To sum it all up they take the plants sugar and transforms it into energy. I know cool right. Any kind of life is able to do this process. They take the the ATP out of the food particles that we eat the create it into chemical that helps to power their cells activities.
In order to create an enzyme you need 2 important items mRNA and the ribosomes. First we are going to make mRNA out of the RNA polymerase then must copy the DNA template into a complementary copy of mRNA. Then the mRNA is then transferred from the nucleus to the cytoplasm, which then the ribosomes grab the carrier of the RNA molecules. Then the ribosomes then translate 3 base nucleotide (condon) into amino acids. The amino acids that are just made then go and help out the ribosomes that then come together to make the protein code from the mRNA that is from the cytoplasm as a by product from the first reaction are then are carried to the ribosomes by the transfer RNAs (tRNA). After this the new formed proteins goes though a phase called the post-translational modification as it goes though the rough E.R. If the protein destination is on the outside of the cell the they go though the Golgi Body for final wrap-up. Finally these proteins are sent to the different parts of the cytoplasm which is then help fix the carbon dioxide from the atmosphere into the mesophyll cells in the plants leaves.
