Besides the recent space issues with my plant, it is doing well. I am able to tell it is still living because of multiple characteristics it possesses. For one thing, my plant has shown signs of growth which is evidence of cell division. All living things are made of cells. However more evidence is needed to know if it this is for sure a living thing. Our plant has internal balance, or maintains homeostasis. The plant also obtains materials and energy from the environment, which all living things must do to live. It uses the sun for energy, and water to make food for itself. The nutrients in the air keep our plant alive and growing. Another major sign that our plant is living is reproduction. Our plant reproduces by producing seedlings that get dispersed to other places, usually by wind. The last major sign of life is its response to its environment. Our plant was able to adapt to its living situation (the limited space and sunlight) and continue to grow.
EVIDENCE OF GROWTH (CELL DIVISION)

| Our plants started out as a tiny seedling... |
 |
| It grew large leaves after it was planted in a larger area... |
 |
| And now it is over a foot tall and thriving in the garden |
