Plants produce oxygen. Trees provide shelter for a lot of animals. People get medicine from plants. All animals rely on plants for survival.]]> 2018-01-20 23:29:57 UTC https://padlet.com/jlaughli1/22wbhzynm0nb/wish/223051847 jlaughli1 https://padlet.com/jlaughli1/22wbhzynm0nb/wish/228959660 I chose this video because it explains all the steps of photosynthesis. The light dependent reaction, the light independent reaction, and the Calvin cycle. The video shows how the chloroplasts absorb light from the sun. Then how that light energy is converted into chemical energy that the plant can use. The video highlights the important components in a plant that allow photosynthesis to take place. For example the thylakoids are where light energy is converted into chemical energy.The stroma is where the calvin cycle takes place. ]]> 2018-02-07 06:22:21 UTC https://padlet.com/jlaughli1/22wbhzynm0nb/wish/228959660 jlaughli1 https://padlet.com/jlaughli1/22wbhzynm0nb/wish/233583451 http://extension.uga.edu/publications/detail.html?number=B987
This website shows and describes the various plants that are native to Georgia. The website states that the Fevertree, Black Titi, and Red Titi are native to the southern regions of Georgia. These plants are native to the southern regions of Georgia because the soil and climate satisfies their growing requirements.The characteristics of each native plant is describe on this website. The plant sizes and habitat are also described. ]]> 2018-02-21 02:42:44 UTC https://padlet.com/jlaughli1/22wbhzynm0nb/wish/233583451 jlaughli1 https://padlet.com/jlaughli1/22wbhzynm0nb/wish/237908069 I believe the Tundra biome is in the most danger of ecological change. Global warming is causing temperatures to rise. The rise in temperature is causing the ice to melt in the Tundra biomes. The permafrost is melting which could change the landscape and affect what species could live there.]]> 2018-03-05 03:00:12 UTC https://padlet.com/jlaughli1/22wbhzynm0nb/wish/237908069 jlaughli1 https://padlet.com/jlaughli1/22wbhzynm0nb/wish/242884897 The development of the social structure caused inequality among the people of the Neolithic Revolution. The people used to all work together toward a common purpose and now they are all ranked based on wealth, power, and talents. The people they believed didn't posses any of the qualities were slaves and had no chance to achieve their fullest potential. ]]> 2018-03-16 15:48:26 UTC https://padlet.com/jlaughli1/22wbhzynm0nb/wish/242884897 jlaughli1 https://padlet.com/jlaughli1/22wbhzynm0nb/wish/249568867 This website describes one of the most important innovations of the third agricultural revolution which is crop rotation. Crop rotation is the planting of dissimilar types of crops to help restore plant nutrients and reduce pests that often occur when one crop is continuously planted. Crop rotation reduces soil erosion, and also greatly increase soil fertility.]]> 2018-04-08 19:02:19 UTC https://padlet.com/jlaughli1/22wbhzynm0nb/wish/249568867 jlaughli1 https://padlet.com/jlaughli1/22wbhzynm0nb/wish/252395897 The chemical derived from the Aglaia foveolata called Silvestrol that has been used in the treatment of cancer. There is research being conducted that found that this chemical can reduces resistance to chemotherapy agents that are used to treat cancer. It was found to turn off leukemia cancer cells signals that made them resistant to the chemotherapy. This is an important chemical because cancer has become a big problem and we need plants that provide us with help to cure cancer.]]> 2018-04-17 02:23:11 UTC https://padlet.com/jlaughli1/22wbhzynm0nb/wish/252395897 jlaughli1 https://padlet.com/jlaughli1/22wbhzynm0nb/wish/256370074 If gas emissions is left unchecked then all of the ice will melt. This will cause the sea level to rise. The sea level rising will cause some cities to flood especially near the coast.]]> 2018-04-30 01:17:28 UTC https://padlet.com/jlaughli1/22wbhzynm0nb/wish/256370074
