In the environment, I understand that plants provide oxygen by using the carbon dioxide that we don't use. In society, we use plants for eating, and for decoration. These plants here can be used for environmental and societal purposes, so this picture seems to be good.]]> 2019-01-16 19:58:36 UTC https://padlet.com/cmccorm2/7boitwy3szsc/wish/321435018 cmccorm2 https://padlet.com/cmccorm2/7boitwy3szsc/wish/326829323 I chose this little animation because it is simple, correct, and to the point. It shows the light from the sun, and then carbon dioxide and water going into the plant to start photosynthesis. Then throughout the process of photosynthesis, the plant produces carbohydrates (glucose) and oxygen. ]]> 2019-02-01 18:45:26 UTC https://padlet.com/cmccorm2/7boitwy3szsc/wish/326829323 cmccorm2 https://padlet.com/cmccorm2/7boitwy3szsc/wish/331829722 One type of plant that I found native to only Georgia is the Megrelian Birch. It is more specific to the north west areas of Georgia, and it was discovered in 1934. It is currently an endangered species. The taxonomic name is Betula megrelica. ]]> 2019-02-15 17:26:32 UTC https://padlet.com/cmccorm2/7boitwy3szsc/wish/331829722 cmccorm2 https://padlet.com/cmccorm2/7boitwy3szsc/wish/335682932 I believe that the rainforest biome is in danger of being changed. The reason why I believe this is because in the notes, it says that rainforests only make up 6% of the total population. The problem is that people will always need trees for paper and other materials, so the trees there are at risk. If many trees are cut down in a rainforest, it can endanger the oxygen levels and mess up the biome.]]> 2019-02-26 23:09:48 UTC https://padlet.com/cmccorm2/7boitwy3szsc/wish/335682932 cmccorm2 https://padlet.com/cmccorm2/7boitwy3szsc/wish/342146980 This is a chart showing how the world population is growing. The Neolithic Revolution made it so that plant growth would increase, but in turn made population growth increase. If population keeps increasing, that means plant growth would also have to increase. The Neolithic Revolution is a big reason why population grew and is where it is now.]]> 2019-03-17 17:48:15 UTC https://padlet.com/cmccorm2/7boitwy3szsc/wish/342146980 cmccorm2 https://padlet.com/cmccorm2/7boitwy3szsc/wish/346656335 I picked this picture but it shows how farming has got to the point where we don't do much work at all, and what we have built does the work for us. In this image, the plants are lined up in rows, and all the nutrients it needs are coming in to it through those pipes. This method of farming came about because of all the agricultural revolutions we have had and how technology has increased.]]> 2019-03-29 17:53:05 UTC https://padlet.com/cmccorm2/7boitwy3szsc/wish/346656335 cmccorm2 https://padlet.com/cmccorm2/7boitwy3szsc/wish/350864974 I think that caffeine is the most influential chemical derived from a plant in the world. So many people have been addicted to caffeine, and people have taken advantage of it and made so much money off of it. Caffeine even decides how some people live, for example, if they do not have a coffee with caffeine in it, they will have a bad day.]]> 2019-04-11 16:44:09 UTC https://padlet.com/cmccorm2/7boitwy3szsc/wish/350864974 cmccorm2 https://padlet.com/cmccorm2/7boitwy3szsc/wish/354627882 I think that the future would have a lot of building, lights, and modern looks with not many plants around. It would have enough plants to keep us alive, but not like today where we see many plants. Technological advancements would make it so that trees are cut down and new tech buildings and cities are put in place, especially because of the growing human population.]]> 2019-04-27 01:07:39 UTC https://padlet.com/cmccorm2/7boitwy3szsc/wish/354627882
