Question 1:
Our plant has grown quite the length since we've checked up on it. There's a number of reasons causing it to grow.a
It begins with mitosis, also referred to as cell division. This is a process in which their job is working with the growth and development in a eukaryotic cell. In mitosis, there's fivae stages. In order, the stages go prophase, interphase, metaphase, anaphase, and telophase. There's also another stage, however it's the finishing product, so it's not usually grouped in with the stages to make it complete. It's name is cytokinesis, this is when the cell splits into two. However, let's go back into the other stages. First, prophase. In prophase, chromosomes become visible, the nucleolus disappears, the mitotic spindle forms, and the nuclear envelope disappears. Chromosomes then become more and more coiled to the point where it can be shown under a microscope. In interphase, cellular organelles double, the DNA replicates, and protein synthesis happens. Unlike prophase, the chromosomes are not visible and the DNA appears as uncoiled chromatin. In metaphase, the microtubules of the spindle have attached and the chromosomes are lined up on the metaphase plate. A metaphase plate is "an imaginary plane perpendicular to the spindle fibers of a dividing cell". The chromosomes during anaphase are usually in the shape of a "V".
There's also cellular respiration. Cellular respiration is the process of oxidizing food molecules, like glucose, to carbon dioxide and water, in other words making their own food. The energy released is trapped in the form of ATP for use by all the energy-consuming activities of the cell.
Finally, there's also photosynthesis, that provides our plant with food. The plant does this when photons from sunlight shines through the leaf, it creates chlorophyll and triggers electrons to activate. Water is then split into oxygen and hydrogen ions. The electrons that were activated go through an electron transport chain. Then an accumulation of hydrogen ions goes to the thylakoid membrane, creating a proton gradient. ATP is formed when ADP and P come together.
Question 2:
The cell begins protein synthesis when specific enzymes are needed. A message will be sent to the nucleus, the cell will begin to produce more proteins to make more enzymes. RNA Polymerase’s job is to unzip the the double helix of DNA that codes for the needed protein,

it then makes a complementary strand to one of the DNA strands, then re-zips the double helix back up, it's almost like sewing. The mRNA will then travel outside the nucleus, where ribosomes will attach themselves. The ribosomes read the codons of mRNA, and tRNA and bring the matching amino acid for each of the triplet codons. These two processes are called transcription and translation. At the end of translation, all the amino acids specified by the mRNA codons will finally have formed some protein.
