Student Blog Post Assignment #5: Living or Not?

by Ryan Keeney

                Our plants are currently flourishing in the spot where they were planted in the garden. Since we first transplanted the kohlrabi into the garden, the stems have gotten much longer and thicker, as well as taken on a strong purple color. If we wanted to show that the organism was alive in ways other than observing its growth, there are experiments that could be carried out to show that these plants react to external stimuli. For example, one could test if it actively grows towards a light source if isolated in a dark area. Another experiment could be designed to show that the roots of the plant grow towards water.
