Blog Post #3

       This week I noticed that the plants grew a little more.  The seeds with 0% salt are growing the most and are the biggest, and the seeds with 1% salt are in second place.  The seeds with 4% and 8% of salt are still very tiny and are not really growing.  During the nitrogen cycle, the bacteria turns into a gas, ammonia, that plants can use.  The ammonia turns into a nitrate ion and the plats take it in as protein.  Our plants are doing that because the ammonia is circling the plant right now.  The carbon cycle is the transformation of carbon back and fourth between living things and the environment.  Carbon is an element that can't be broken down, and our plants our giving out the carbon to the environment so we can breath.
