This
is a cause and effect paragraph essay on flowers, and their
connection to the sun. when you study the flower while blocking the
sun or any other light you can see the way the plant reacts without
light, which could give a description of why the plant needs light.
If we
started out with a tiny flower, and suppose a person came and
accidentally dropped a pan over the flower without noticing, it
would start the cause and effect. The flower would be blocked from
the sun, but the water and the nutrients in the soil would still feed
the flower. The plant will have healthy nutrients, too. But a flower
cannot live by those alone.
The
sun gives the plants chlorophyll, a chemical that keeps the plants
green. The chemical is also a nutrient that the plants need, but not
one that can be given through the soil. If the sun is blocked from
reaching the flower, the plant gets no chlorophyll, the green starts
to fade, and it gets sick. If a plant is sick for another reason, it
will also lose chlorophyll, and become dry and yellow.
There
are many bees that feed from the flower, and when it dies, a little
of the bees food source dies down. But supposing it were a huge field
of flowers that were blocked from light, it could cause some damage.
However, the flower fades into compost, and when the pan is removed
and new seeds are blown into the soil, the plants grow easier.
So
ends our cause and effect. By the man dropping the pan over the
flower, the sun couldn't reach the flower, and the flower got sick
and died, and the flower turned into compost so when the pan was
removed the seeds could be planted in the compost, and the compost
would make the plant healthier. So it was actually for a good cause.
