seed update #3

In this most recent seed update the beans ave started to grow more flowers. The flowers are pretty noticeable, which is shocking because they are small and white.
                                       
Our plants our a part of several cycles which are very vital to the survival of living things. First off the plants are important in the water cycle. The plants bring underground water up from their roots into the stem and out to the leaves. In this process the water is also feeding the plant which allows it to grow. Then, some or most of the water transpires into the earths atmosphere. This is important because the plant provides water for other living things when the water in the clouds precipitate. Secondly, the plants are contributers to the carbon cycle. The plants take carbon right out of the air and other resources in order to perform photosynthesis. In this process of feeding itself the plant gives off oxygen. This is important because all animals that live on earth need oxygen to breathe and stay alive. Finally the nitrogen cycle is held together by the plants as well. The plants take nitrogen out of the underground water. Then they use in to make proteins. Then when they get eaten by animals that nitrogen is released back into the atmosphere and the process starts all over again.
