In the picture  below most people would simply just see a nice lawn. but actually grass helps clean the air, trap carbon dioxide, reduce erosion from decrease noise pollution, improve soil, reduce temperatures, and stormwater runoff.

I chose this video because it clearly talks about all the steps of photosynthesis. it also explains more in depth what the word photosynthesis means. the video also talks about how important this process is for humans. photosynthesis can also happen underwater.

I chose this website because it is very informative. the website talks about all the four major land plants and the characteristics of each. You can also find examples of each land plant with a picture. The bottom of the page there is a compare and contrast of all the life cycles.

Bryophyte Pteridophyte Gymnosperm Angiosperm
Bryophyte and Pteridophyte
Bryophye - dioecious, gametophyte dominant life cycle
Pteridophyte - monoecious, sporophyte dominated life cycle
Both - Alteration of generations, use spores, need water for reproduction, diploid zygote results from fertilization, male and female structures, flagellated sperm

Bryophyte and Gymnosperm
Bryophyte - dioecious, gametophyte dominated life cycle, require water for reproduction
Gymnosperm - Sporophyte dominated life cycle, pollen, wind for pollination, monoecious, naked seeds
Both - Alteration of generations, diploid zygote results from fertilization, male and female structures

Bryophyte and Angiosperm
Bryophyte - dioecious, gametophyte dominated life cycle, require water for reproduction
Angiosperm - Sporophyte dominated life cycle, pollen, fully covered seeds, monoecious, vector pollination, flowers/fruit
Both - Alteration of generations, diploid zygote results from fertilization, male and female structures

Pteridophyte and Gymnosperm
Pteridophyte - requires water for reproduction, spores
Gymnosperm - uncovered seeds, pollen, wind for reproduction
Both - monoecious, sporophyte dominated life cycle, alternation of generations, diploid zygote results from fertilization, male and female structures

Pteridophyte and Angiosperm
Pteridophyte - requires water for reproduction, spores,
Angiosperm - fully covered seeds, pollen, fruit/flowers, vector pollination

Gymnosperm and Angiosperm
Gymnosperm - uncovered seeds, wind pollination,
Angiosperm - covered seeds, flowers/fruit, vector pollination
Both - sporophyte dominated life cycle, monoecious, alternation of generations, diploid zygote results from fertilization, male and female structures, seeds, pollen.

Cells - All plants are members of the domain Eukarya, meaning they must have eukaryotic cells. Plants must be multicellular.

Tissues - Some plants have vascular tissue. Bryophytes lack vascular tissue. Vascular tissue is made up of xylem, which take up water and nutrients from the soil and transport it from roots to shoot. Phloem take the products of photosynthesis in the shoots of the plant and transport it from shoots to roots.

Organs - Plants have 4 major organs, the stem; leaves; roots; and flower. The stem's job is to provide structural rigidity to the plant, allowing it to grow taller and wider. It also orients the leaves to the sun for optimum photosynthesis. The leaves have stomata, which help with gas exchange. The stomata allow carbon dioxide gas in to the plant for photosynthesis when there is ideal water conditions. The roots are a major part of the vascular system, they take up water and nutrients from the soil for the rest of the plant. Lastly, the flower, it contains specialized reproductive organs as well as has the petals which attract pollinators.

Organ systems - Plants have 2 major organ systems, the shoot and the root. Root is considered any part of the plant below ground, and shoot is anything from the ground up. Shoots include the organs above the ground such as the stem, leaves, and flower while the roots contain the roots.

I'm not very good at technology so instead of figuring out how to embed something so I'm just going to provide you with the following link.

If the locations had been reversed, would you have chosen a different winner? Why or why not?
I believe Paula Pinetree still would have won, as she had very few issues in any of the locations and was still the overall best contender. However, other plants would have been eliminated in a different order.

Would you expect each student in the class to choose the same winner as you did? Why or why not?
No, not every student would have picked Paula because other people may have focused on different strengths and weaknesses, resulting in different eliminations and ultimately a different winner. But, since gymnosperms are generally more advanced than bryophytes and pteridophytes I would guess that at least some other people chose her as the winner.

Can you think of another plant that was not chosen as a contestant that would be a better winner than the one you chose? Why or why not?
I believe although pine trees are very versatile and she was a stellar contestant, I believe an angiosperm like an apple tree or a grass species would be even better suited. Apple trees have protection for their seeds in their fruit, and grasses are very durable and grow almost anywhere.

Analysis
1. We viewed chlamydomonas, spirogyra, volvox, and ulva. I knew which form each specimen was due to if it was unicellular, colonial, or multicellular

2. Antheridium: male gametophyte found in both bryophytes and pteridophytes. Haploid, and dominant in bryophytes, produces motile sperm by mitosis. Archegonium: female gametophyte that is also haploid and dominant in bryophytes. Produced by mitosis and contains the eggs

3. Bryophytes: dominant gametophyte, non-vascular, dioecious
Pteridophytes: dominant sporophyte, vascular, monoecious
Both: seedless, alteration of generations, flagellated sperm, needs water for reproduction, uses spores

4. Prothallus: very small fern gametophyte that is haploid and produces gametes

One of the most dangerous world biomes I believe is in the most danger of ecological change would have to be the desert biome. due to loss of habitat, climate change, and drought many animals are endangered. the desert is also a very dangerous place for humans due to temperatures and lack of rain.

the neolithic revolution indeed had negative and positive effects. one of the most important effects caused by this revolution is permeant settlement. The use of agriculture allowed humans to develop permeant settlements, social classes, and new technologies. the diagram I found describes the positives of the neolithic revolution.

Agriculture in the future will no longer depend on applying water, fertilizers, and pesticides uniformly across entire fields. Instead, farmers will use the minimum quantities required and target very specific areas. Farms and agricultural operations will have to be run very differently, primarily due to advancements in technology such as sensors, devices, machines, and information technology.

Quinine is used as a malaria and babesiosis medication. It remains one of the primary treatments for malaria to this day under the brand name Quinalaquin, and the generic name Quinine. It’s an alkaloid taken from the Cinchona calisaya tree from South America. It was a popular herb used by the local Quechua tribes of the Amazon rainforest.

The third agriculture revolution is also called the green revolution. This occurred throughout the 1970s and the 1980s. It was a period in time when new agricultural practices were created to help farmers over the world with advanced crops, like GMO's and GE's, allowing further production, better performance, and land efficiency.
