Blog Post #6

My plant is getting bigger by th minute! It is adding biomass and growing by going through the process of photosynthesis. This is helpful for my plant because it create water and chemical energy which is then realeased. It also has a byproduct of oxygen. My plant also uses cellular respiration, this creates sugars for the plant to eat when photosynthesis can not happen, such as night time, this rotation of cellular respiration and photosynthesis helps grow the plant consistently. The plant also goes through cell division which creates two daughter cells from one parent cell, this also involves the plant growth since it is increasing it biomass. My plant goes through the whole process of cell division; interphase, prophase,  metaphase, anaphase, telophase, cytokinesis. My plant is going trough these processes when the resources are available.
        The way they can make more of these important enzymes is is by goin through the process of transcription and translation. Starting from the DNA, they transcribe to fit the mRNA. Then, they are taken out of the nucleus and toward the ribosomes, this occurs on the rough endoplasmic reticulum (ER). After that, they are translated in the ribosomes, they take in the mRNA by three; codons. These are read and made into amino acids.
