Biogeochemical cycles in your plants. Aidan Decremer

Our plant has not significantly  grown sense the last time I saw it. It has grown though. It has spread out a little more and has also made its leaves bigger. You can even start to see a little broccoli flower forming. Overall I think our plant is healthy and will start producing food soon.
Our plant plats into the water cycle by absorbing water from its roots and using that in the process to create glucose sugar. Our plant plays into the carbon cycle by taking it out of the air and and uses it in photosynthesis. Our plant also participates in nitrate fixation which involves bacteria in the plants roots to break down nitrogen into ammonia. The plant then absorbs it through its roots.
