1.  

 Our plant is getting bigger and adding biomass by going through the process of photosynthesis. A way for plants to make water by converting the sun's energy into water for the water. They would also use cellular respiration, to make sugars and food to eat. They can go through cell division, just like the animal cells. The mitosis process allows them to grow, getting larger through the process. Photosynthesis and cellular respiration keeps them alive while it is going through the process. I have noticed that it has not really grown in a while. I remembered that you told me that it might of been of a small animal eating some of the roots.

2. The way they can make more of these important enzymes is by going 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. Which happens on the Rough Endoplasmic reticulum (ER). After that, they are later translated in the ribosome. The complex folding happens later in the Golgi Apparatus. Which creates another protein that is available for use.
