Each plant has a hormone called Auxin that will move to the shady part of the plant, so that the plant can get its sunlight. As seen in this picture plants are attracted to sunlight and with the Auxin in the shady part of the plant it will cause the plant to start and grow towards the sunlight and cause the plant to bend. When plants are shaded from the sunlight they will begin to grow lateral and expand like this plant has done with the hormone called Cytokinins. ]]> 2019-08-24 14:39:27 UTC https://padlet.com/bstilwel/BIOL1020/wish/376832614 bstilwel https://padlet.com/bstilwel/BIOL1020/wish/379618162 I chose this animation of photosynthesis because it shows you clearly step by step how photosynthesis works. It shows you how plants take in the sunlight and then store it in the chlorophyll. For this whole process to work though it needs two of the main ingredients which are water and carbon dioxide. The the hydrogen atoms are mixed together with the carbon dioxide to make sugars which provides sugar which is sent to the rest of the plant for food. ]]> 2019-09-03 19:04:57 UTC https://padlet.com/bstilwel/BIOL1020/wish/379618162 bstilwel https://padlet.com/bstilwel/BIOL1020/wish/385332843 Megrelian Birch grows in North West Georgia and was first discovered in 1934 by D. Sosnovsky. Its taxonomy or scientific name is Betula megrelica. They can grow to be anywhere from 4 feet tall to 12 feet tall. Farming and forestry are a huge threat to this species due do to the fact that Georgia has little if any forestry control and laws.

More than half of all temperate grasslands have been turned into crop productions, forest plantations, and other land uses; these factors are causing a big loss in habitat. Only 3.4% of all temperate grasslands are protected.

A positive impact though that helped them all out were they people that weren't farmers because while everyone was farming they were working on stuff to create new innovative technologies to make farming more efficient, so they could grow more crops in a shorter amount of time. They were also working on ways to making better buildings/homes for each other to live in, which means everyone one in the community was doing something to benefit the community as a whole.]]> 2019-10-14 15:15:40 UTC https://padlet.com/bstilwel/BIOL1020/wish/397468439 bstilwel https://padlet.com/bstilwel/BIOL1020/wish/403413419 Tractors was a very big improvement in the farming industry. This invention helped farmers get stuff done a lot faster and easier because instead of walking through the whole land to get stuff done with a lot of people you could get work done way faster with only a couple people working. Also you didn't have to be on your feet just hop in the tractor and drive and let the tractor do the rest of the work. Tractors also allowed people to have more land because with tractors you'd be able to keep up with all the land cause you ca get stuff done in a shorter amount of time. ]]> 2019-10-28 16:02:58 UTC https://padlet.com/bstilwel/BIOL1020/wish/403413419 bstilwel https://padlet.com/bstilwel/BIOL1020/wish/409494448 B12 is a very important supplement because it helps the brain, nerve, and  hematologic health. It also has a factor called Methylation which is a key processes in this because it helps control DNA regulation.]]> 2019-11-11 15:07:37 UTC https://padlet.com/bstilwel/BIOL1020/wish/409494448 bstilwel https://padlet.com/bstilwel/BIOL1020/wish/416175277 In the picture below on the right side is where we are today but on the left is where we could end up if everything started going unchecked. Pollution rates would rise which would have people breathing in a lot of bad air, our waters would be very badly trashed causing a lot of the sea life to die, the air would be very dry with no moisture causing us to not even be able to grow any grass which could then lead to many fires with no moisture in the air, and etc. Death rates of people would increase and peoples life spans would soon shorter. If stuff went unchecked eventually it would turn into the next chernobyl.]]> 2019-11-25 14:39:57 UTC https://padlet.com/bstilwel/BIOL1020/wish/416175277
