time travel

After travelling successfully though time I met a man by the name of Van Helmont and discussed some results from an experiment he was currently observing. I told him that I was from the future and scientist had discovered how the plants use chemical cycles to feed. I explained to him how plants use photosynthesis and respiration to produce sugars for food then releasing the used energy into our atmosphere. Four main factors needed to produce these processes are sunlight, oxygen, carbon dioxide, and water. I would explain to Van Helmont that under a microscope plants have cells that have tiny green pigments that contain chloroplast where all of the chemical reactions are computed. In photosynthesis a plant takes in carbon dioxide, water, and sunlight to produce its food and energy. The sun puts off wavelengths that allow plants to capture photons. To a plant photosynthesis is a process that produces sugars called glucose and fructose then the plant uses the sugars as food. To a human the process recycles carbon dioxide into oxygen for us to breath. The plants surroundings are where it acquires everything it needs for photosynthesis. It absorbs sunlight through its leaves as well as water through its roots. All plants have tiny vents called stoma, which allows gases like CO2 and water to pass through.

After a plant has completed photosynthesis it has a lot it has a lot of sugars and energy stored that is uses to grow. Once it has its finished product from photosynthesis the plant starts a new process to release energy called respiration. The process of respiration is how a plant allows itself to release its used energy. After photosynthesis a plant has many sugars made such as glucose and fructose and the plant needs those sugars for storage or growth in the roots or shoots. That’s how the plant regulates the amount of Co2 or oxygen enters and exits its pores. When both of the cycles are happening water is the only thing that enters the processes and leaves unchanged.

Eventually Mr. Van Helmont understood the photosynthesis and respiration processes and we started talking about water irrigation. I explained how the drainage of water and the porosity of his soil depended on how water should flow through it during storms and allow his crops to manage water and not ruin everything from flood. Mr. Van Helmont thanked me for helping him understand how a plant functions with the two cycles. After our discussion about photosynthesis Mr. Helmont had hundreds of questions about time travel. I told him that I was a scientific project and I was a test subject that had been sent back to tell him about plants using photosynthesis so that in the future it would exceed man kinds knowledge overall about plants.
