Since plants are producers they can be source of food for humans and animals. They also provide habitat for many animals such as birds, insects, and so on. I feel this photo shows plants in their purest form in nature where they can perform their functions for the planet.]]> 2020-06-19 23:19:44 UTC https://padlet.com/tcarlsen1/9t2qykyxwiz9r36c/wish/634079067 tcarlsen1 https://padlet.com/tcarlsen1/9t2qykyxwiz9r36c/wish/634095997 I chose this animation because I felt it was a straightforward description of photosynthesis. Without going into detail it shows a basic illustration of how the process works. The plant uses the light energy combined with carbon dioxide and water to produce oxygen to release.]]> 2020-06-19 23:58:19 UTC https://padlet.com/tcarlsen1/9t2qykyxwiz9r36c/wish/634095997 tcarlsen1 https://padlet.com/tcarlsen1/9t2qykyxwiz9r36c/wish/645476855 Georgia is home to plenty of native trees. Some of which are pine trees which are also considered gymnosperms. This specific tree pictured is a pond pine tree.]]> 2020-07-02 00:36:09 UTC https://padlet.com/tcarlsen1/9t2qykyxwiz9r36c/wish/645476855 tcarlsen1 https://padlet.com/tcarlsen1/9t2qykyxwiz9r36c/wish/646410281 In my opinion the tropical rainforest is the biome in the most danger. Human development within the rainforest has already caused damaged and isn’t stopping anytime soon. The tropical rainforest has undergone massive deforestation due to logging, power generation, increased agriculture, and the paper industry.]]> 2020-07-02 23:36:18 UTC https://padlet.com/tcarlsen1/9t2qykyxwiz9r36c/wish/646410281 tcarlsen1 https://padlet.com/tcarlsen1/9t2qykyxwiz9r36c/wish/655538661 Neolithic period was a period where humans realized they could grow their own food versus just hunting it. This led to humans settling in areas instead of constant migration. With settlements the human population grew exponentially. ]]> 2020-07-15 23:42:42 UTC https://padlet.com/tcarlsen1/9t2qykyxwiz9r36c/wish/655538661 tcarlsen1 https://padlet.com/tcarlsen1/9t2qykyxwiz9r36c/wish/655542669 The third agricultural revolution saw a jump with scientific experimentation with crops. Scientists were mixing and matching different crops to see what could be made or improve what was already there. Farmers began using fertilizers, herbicides, and pesticides for mass production. New preservation techniques were being used as well which had an global economic impact. With new technologies in the agricultural world farming as become a global business. ]]> 2020-07-15 23:50:42 UTC https://padlet.com/tcarlsen1/9t2qykyxwiz9r36c/wish/655542669 tcarlsen1 https://padlet.com/tcarlsen1/9t2qykyxwiz9r36c/wish/663672315 Aspirin (salicylic acid) has been a popular treatment for pain, inflammation, and fever for years. It works by inhibiting an enzyme called cyclooxygenase. The compound was first synthesized in 1890 and can be found in a handful of plants such as white willow, wintergreens, and birch.]]> 2020-07-27 23:47:32 UTC https://padlet.com/tcarlsen1/9t2qykyxwiz9r36c/wish/663672315 tcarlsen1 https://padlet.com/tcarlsen1/9t2qykyxwiz9r36c/wish/663677828 With the climate changing because of the amount greenhouse gasses the world is producing it has the potential to negatively affect agriculture over the next few decades. With higher temperatures and little rain it will be difficult for farmers to produce the necessary amount of crops to keep up with the growing population. As temperatures rise it is also questionable how ecosystems are going to be able to adapt to these changes and how it will affect plant and animal life.]]> 2020-07-27 23:57:08 UTC https://padlet.com/tcarlsen1/9t2qykyxwiz9r36c/wish/663677828
