Week 2 Plants

The second week of plants was interesting! Everyone’s group has a controlled, and manipulated plant. 

 

Controlled

 

My groups controlled plant is pretty tall! It has a lot of leaves on the stem. For this week, the measurements are great. Cell one is 2 cm. Cell 2 is 1 cm. Cell 3 is 5 cm, and cell 4 is 1 cm. The color of all the plants in the quad, is a vine green. Some of the plants are dying, because we didn’t water the plants enough gatorade. So then, we watered it more gatorade, and the plant kinda came back to life. The direction the plant is growing is straight. In the 17th of May, cell 3 lost some leaves. I think it did because there was not enough gatorade.

 

Manipulated

 

My groups manipulated plant is the only manipulated plant growing! It’s probably because of the sugar in the gatorade, and the plant needs sugar to grow, so it’s growing. But it’s starting to die, so again we watered it more with gatorade. The height isn’t that bad. Cell 1 is 1 cm. Cell 2 is 1 cm. Cell 3 is 0 cm. Cell 4 is 1 cm. For some reason, in cell three, there’s something in it. My group thinks it’s mold. I still don’t understand why there’s mold in cell three, because mold is caused by water. The color of the plant is a green that doesn’t look like it should be green. The direction the plant is growing is mostly on the left.

 

No Sunlight
 The no sunlight plant looks so unexpected. It’s all yellow and long. It’s probably because, plants make food out of sunlight, and the poor plant has been in a cabinet for a long time, and there’s no sunlight in the cabinet, so it can’t make food.

This is a picture of my group’s controlled and manipulated plant.
