Joe Fordyce blog post #6 (How does our garden grow)
My plant is growing great and is actually growing faster because there is a reflection which gives out plant more sunlight. Photosynthesis is taking a big part in the growth of our plant. Since the reflection is pointing more sunlight to our plant it is almost growing 2 times faster. Since enzymes are proteins the nucleus would send the information to the rest of the cell to say that this is a good substance that ill eventually make more cells.

Joe's journal #5
How we know that our plant is a living thing is because it is constantly growing and will keep growing until is dies. The seed have have a dramatic change from bag of water to the soil. The plant has grown in size and will continue to do and that is how we know it is alive because of the constant growth.

Some abiotic factors are the soil and the water and even us because since we are in such a long an huge drought we are now watering the plants and the sky is not. Some abiotic factors that affect the plant in a negative way are caterpillars and also the wind can affect the plant because it can throw up the plant from the soil and therefore kill the plant.
The plants are competing for water from other plants and we can tell this because some plants are bigger than others which tells us that the plants are always in competition for water and sunlight which happens 24/7.
For my observations I believe that the plants have winners and losers because of the death of the plant and because if they do not have as much sunlight they will the not grow as fast and therefore lose to the competing plant.
They can be involved in in the air that they produce which can be an interaction and also nitrogen going into the roots. The interaction ends up bad for the nitrogen because it is basically killed in the process.
I believe that the garden plants are undergoing secondary succession because we could end the plants life like that in the snap of a finger.

Zach's blog post assignment #5
The plant that me and my group planted is in fact alive for many reasons. One being the plant has grown from seed to plant in about a month. Non living things cant grow. Also the plant has gone through photothinsis which is responsible for the plant food and how it eats to grow bigger and bigger. And lastly, the plant has a large amount of chlorophyll giving the plant its green color. Naturally green means life. If something is green in nature it is more than likely alive

#1 Abiotic factors that my plant depends on to survive is the soil. Despite the many living things within the soil such as, Bugs, Bacteria, spiders and other insects.
#2 A big factor that plants compete for is the space of which they can grow bigger and bigger. Most importantly they are competing for sunlight for growth. The more sunlight the more nutrients your plant will get and the better result of growth. They also compete for minerals in the soil to expand thier roots. They compete against other living organisms around it.
#3 Winners and loser in this situation are determined by which plant grows more and is bigger and has more biomass. But it is always not this simple because it is not always clear who wins and who loses both plants could have success.
#4 A way plant interact other than competing is they interact with carbon and nitrogen to go through photothinsisis. My plant is involved in sucking in water and using it for growth.
#5 It is secondary sucession because the ground and soil which the plant was planted was already firtle and had already been used for other crops and plants.

The plants are still living because they have green leaves and they are big. The cute little plant is alive because its green. The plant is green because it has chlorophyll and chlorophyll is used in photosynthesis. Photosynthesis is the plants way of getting energy so it can survive. If it produces energy to survive it must be alive. And if it's alive it will grow and that's why the leaves are big and green.
