Biogeochemical Cycles and Your Plants

1. What changes do you notice in your plants this week? Describe the overall appearance of your plant. My cabbage plant has made a huge growth in the last week. The biggest change that I see is the overall size of the plant. It has very large round leaves that stretch out from the center of the plant.
2. How do your plants participate in the movement of water in the biosphere? How do your plants' roles in the water cycle relate to the changes you observed in your plants this week? My plant does play a big role in the movement of water in the biosphere. They suck up the water that is in the air. They then use that water that they sucked up to make food. It relates to the changes because it used that water for food, and this in turn caused the cabbage plant to grow.
3. How do your plants participate in the movement of carbon in the biosphere?  How do your plants' roles in the carbon cycle relate to the changes you observed in your plants this week? Plants are very important in the movement of carbon in the biosphere. They suck up any carbon that they can get. They use that sucked up carbon to make food for itself. It relates to the changes in the plant because it got bigger. It got bigger because it used the carbon as food. 
4. How do your plants participate in the movement of nitrogen in the biosphere?  How do your plants' roles in the nitrogen cycle relate to the changes you observed in your plants this week? Plants need nitrogen in order to grow. It is very crucial for a plant to have nitrogen because nitrogen is needed for photosynthesis to happen. Without photosynthesis the plant won't grow, and eventually die.
