Biogeochemical Cycles and Our Plant

        About a week after we transferred or little plants to the garden, we went to check on them. In that short amount of time they grew to be about half a foot tall. They are still small, green and leafy, but will soon grow to their full hight, width, and the base will become purple. When watered, our plant absorbs water through the soil and into its roots and leafs for nutrients. This water is then can transpire and return to the atmosphere where it continues onto the next stage of the water cycle. Plants play the part of absorbing carbon and giving out oxygen in the carbon cycle. In the nitrogen cycle the plants receive it from the soil and incorporate it into animals. All of these cycles contribute to the growth of the plant because of the producers' intake of nutrients.
