How Does Your Garden Grow

          Throughout the cycle of photosynthesis, our plant has grown to a massive size from just a baby seed. The plant is growing bigger and so are the cells. With mitosis the cells divide which result in the plant getting bigger. The next way our plant adds biomass is through photosynthesis. The plant adds biomass by taking in carbon dioxide and water. They use molecules and light to create glucose, which creates organic molecules which adds biomass. As the plant does this it releases oxygen and water vapor into the atmosphere. Also, it stores energy in form of sugar. Plants can also decrease in biomass through the process of cellular respiration.

           To make these enzymes, the corresponding genes are transcribed into RNA. Once they are outside the nucleus, the proteins are built based upon the code in RNA.
