The plants are also used to build shelters for humans, while plants already act as a form of shelter for animals. en-us 2017-01-21 15:02:18 UTC 2025-11-01 22:31:58 UTC hello@padlet.com https://padlet-assets.s3.amazonaws.com/icons/Xmastree.png Unit 1 bbeaver2 https://padlet.com/bbeaver2/2sqbs1ax2r7u/wish/149088028 Society and the environment are entirely dependent on plants.

While it is very basic, the video shows how a plant needs water, carbon dioxide, and sunlight to go through photosynthesis. The video also shoes how, after photosynthesis has occurred, oxygen has been produced. On a side note, the animation is stellar. I mean, look at the sun's face.]]> 2017-02-04 22:00:55 UTC https://padlet.com/bbeaver2/2sqbs1ax2r7u/wish/151628520 Unit 3 bbeaver2 https://padlet.com/bbeaver2/2sqbs1ax2r7u/wish/153769011 Betula megrelica

Humans tend to fail at leaving beautiful things alone, whether we choose to possess it, or possess something made from it. Deforestation is the destruction of forests so that the land may be used for other means. There is an estimated that 17% of the world's rainforests have been lost due to deforestation.

Communities formed, and, as populations increased, the amount of agricultural activity increased. The cycle continues today; The more people there are, the more food is required to be produced. ]]> 2017-03-19 05:01:18 UTC https://padlet.com/bbeaver2/2sqbs1ax2r7u/wish/160966773 Unit 6 bbeaver2 https://padlet.com/bbeaver2/2sqbs1ax2r7u/wish/165534674 I feel like tractors are a pretty good representation of the third agricultural revolution. With the invention of tractors, farmers were now able to mass produce their crops. Planting and harvesting times shortened dramatically, allowing for more food to be produced, which means more people were able to be fed. Without this kind of technological advancement, I doubt the world would be able to sustain the population it has today.]]> 2017-04-09 05:13:00 UTC https://padlet.com/bbeaver2/2sqbs1ax2r7u/wish/165534674 Unit 7 bbeaver2 https://padlet.com/bbeaver2/2sqbs1ax2r7u/wish/167656081 I honestly believe that caffeine is one of the most popular, influential, and legally addictive plant based chemicals out there. So very few people can get through the day without having their caffeine fix. It is absolutely insane. Not only can some people not function without it, many people get hooked on it simply because of the coffee trend! ]]> 2017-04-23 02:05:41 UTC https://padlet.com/bbeaver2/2sqbs1ax2r7u/wish/167656081 Unit 8 bbeaver2 https://padlet.com/bbeaver2/2sqbs1ax2r7u/wish/170337032 If agricultural practices continued as they are presently, without any changes whatsoever, I am positive that the world would end up looking a lot like this. With an ever growing world population, the need for food will increase at the same rate. While society is doing alright as it is with our current agricultural ways, it's not something would be able to sustain greater populations. Basically, without changing and developing new agricultural practices, the human race would inevitably exhaust all resources, leaving behind a shell of a planet in the wake of their own extinction. ]]> 2017-05-07 02:54:01 UTC https://padlet.com/bbeaver2/2sqbs1ax2r7u/wish/170337032
