This is an image of the deforested land in the Lorax. I believe the world depicted in the Lorax is a definite possibility if we continue in the environmentally irresponsible direction we are currently headed in. Clean air will be a commodity, cities will be made entirely of concrete, and outside the false sanctuary of concrete will lie a land of desolation.

Glucose is the basic sugar used by the majority of living organisms to fuel cellular respiration. Plants create the glucose through photosynthesis, then use it themselves in cellular respiration. Other organisms consume plants or organisms who have consumed plants, and then use the glucose obtained to fuel the vital process of cellular respiration.

The Neolithic period brought about massive growth in the human population. As the work force grew, they could enlarge their agricultural production even more. And as they had more food to sustain population, the population grew. This is known as a positive feedback loop.

I believe tropical rainforests are in danger. They are being destroyed alarmingly fast by logging, clearing for agriculture, fires, and more. This is especially unfortunate, because rainforests account for much of the world's biodiversity and oxygen production. Since they produce oxygen, they also use up carbon dioxide. The disappearance of the forests will lead to massive detrimental changes to not only their biome, but the world.

Baptisia arachnifera, is also known as Hairy Rattleweed. It's an endangered angiosperm, found exclusively in two counties in Georgia. It has yellow flowers that bloom from June to August, and is named for the wispy "hairs" on its stems. Agencies are actively working to grow this species to ensure its survival.

I chose this particular animation, because it had all the key reactants and products. The only things I would add to this animation would be "chlorophyll" on the leaf, and perhaps put carbohydrates somewhere that indicates they are staying in the plant to begin the respiration. Overall I think this is a great surface level summary animation!

Plants play an essential role in both regulating the environment and stabilizing society. For both of these roles, they work closely with animals, which is why I chose a photo of a yin yang with a plant and an animal. As part of the cycle of energy, plants filter our environment and stabilize our climate by replenishing oxygen and regulating carbon dioxide levels. Through photosynthesis, plants harness energy to nourish all animals (directly or indirectly) that inhabit Earth. Life as we know it simply would not exist without plants.
