We also would not have all the nutrients in food without plants. I chose this photo because it shows people using plants in the two most major ways needed by humans. Plants also help the society. Plants also reduce pollution]]> 2017-01-21 22:10:12 UTC https://padlet.com/mmayton1/7sch8nq2vfe8/wish/148534718 mmayton1 https://padlet.com/mmayton1/7sch8nq2vfe8/wish/149773748 I chose this video because it walks you through all of the phases of photosynthesis. The video also does a good job of visually showing you what is going on. When I read about photosynthesis it is hard to picture exactly what is happening , so watching it really helps me have a better understanding of what is going on. ]]> 2017-01-26 22:01:06 UTC https://padlet.com/mmayton1/7sch8nq2vfe8/wish/149773748 mmayton1 https://padlet.com/mmayton1/7sch8nq2vfe8/wish/153526043

Deciduous Forests are in the biggest danger of all biomes in my opinion. One of the biggest factors contributing to this biome being destroyed is deforestation. Not only does deforestation kill trees, but it also causes animals and insects to lose their homes. Climate change affects the growth of these forests. Warming causes growing season to last longer and can also cause droughts. The weather being to warm can cause wildfires. Wildfires can destroy entire forest. Also really bad storms can cause the destruction of this biome, a lot of forest can not recover from a bad storm. ]]> 2017-02-21 17:53:35 UTC https://padlet.com/mmayton1/7sch8nq2vfe8/wish/155240163 mmayton1 https://padlet.com/mmayton1/7sch8nq2vfe8/wish/159073290 Hunters and gathers use to have to travel and roam, which was very dangerous back then.Once the hunter and gathers figured out that they could domesticate plants they were able to stay in one place. Staying in an environment where the weather stays moderately warm all year they could grow things all year. Moving close to rivers helped them find soil that was good for growing different crops. Eventually the people were able to have extra food and were able to stay in one place.

I chose this chart/website because it explains what GMO's are. It also gives some statistics and states what peoples opinions of GMO's are.On the chart it shows that 53% of people would not buy food with GMO's. I think thats a little crazy because without GMO's I think we would have a shortage of food. ]]> 2017-03-30 18:43:09 UTC https://padlet.com/mmayton1/7sch8nq2vfe8/wish/163804266 mmayton1 https://padlet.com/mmayton1/7sch8nq2vfe8/wish/166659665 In my opinion caffeine is the most influential chemical derived from a plant. Millions of people consume caffeine in many different forms everyday. I think it might be the most used chemical of all plants. Caffeine is highly addictive and is consumed for many different reasons. As a college student and mommy of a two year old I consume caffeine all day everyday. ]]> 2017-04-18 01:38:04 UTC https://padlet.com/mmayton1/7sch8nq2vfe8/wish/166659665 mmayton1 https://padlet.com/mmayton1/7sch8nq2vfe8/wish/168483782 I chose this photo because I believe it can show both ways out future environment can be. Sadly I think right now we are on track for the photo on the left. My hope is for generations in the future to take better care of the environment and cut out as much waste as possible. There are so many ways we can be more sustainable without destroying the environment. ]]> 2017-04-26 19:23:18 UTC https://padlet.com/mmayton1/7sch8nq2vfe8/wish/168483782
