Plants travel water up the stem using their Xylem's. From there it collects under the leaves to which it turns into water vapor. How is this important to our environment and everyday life? Well, without it we would not have rain which would result in not having any crops and a natural deforestation of our forests. This would impact our society because if we did not and crops or plants we would naturally die because plants produce oxygen and if there are no plants then no accessible ways to receive oxygen. This is why I Believe Transpiration is very important to the environment and our society!]]> 2019-08-30 15:28:02 UTC https://padlet.com/apayne181/b4j5ow2mo1ro/wish/378687671 apayne181 https://padlet.com/apayne181/b4j5ow2mo1ro/wish/383633818 I chose crash course for the video that helps me understand photosynthesis. I have been using crash course since freshman year of high school. I believe it gives a bunch of useful information while making the videos funny to keep you interested. This video informed me on the structure of the chloroplasts which is new info to me! The reason why learning the anatomy of the chloroplasts was important because it acted like a flow chart for me to easily learn how the cycle of photosynthesis. ]]> 2019-09-13 06:35:23 UTC https://padlet.com/apayne181/b4j5ow2mo1ro/wish/383633818 apayne181 https://padlet.com/apayne181/b4j5ow2mo1ro/wish/390389092 The Angiosperm I have chosen that is native to Georgia is the blood flower. The blood flower is like the name implies red/orange in color. the taxonomic name for the blood flower is Asclepias curassavica .Another reason i have chosen this flower is because there are many of them surrounding the entrance to my neighborhood. They are my mothers favorite flower as well. ]]> 2019-09-27 05:14:02 UTC https://padlet.com/apayne181/b4j5ow2mo1ro/wish/390389092 apayne181 https://padlet.com/apayne181/b4j5ow2mo1ro/wish/396504881 In my opinion the rain forest biome is most at risk to becoming extinct and let me tell you why! Deforestation! That one word summed it all up right there, but what is Deforestation? Deforestation is the clearance, clear cutting or removal of a forest. Why in gods name would people do that? because tress make lumber and paper and resources and thats all that people care about in the day in age ]]> 2019-10-11 02:44:06 UTC https://padlet.com/apayne181/b4j5ow2mo1ro/wish/396504881 apayne181 https://padlet.com/apayne181/b4j5ow2mo1ro/wish/402438935 Farming was a very important part of the neolithic era. Why, you may ask? Before this time humans we mostly hunter and gatherer's. They were also very nomadic at the time. The main problem with living as a nomad is that your food source is inconsistent. Humans eventually recognized this and started to settle down.]]> 2019-10-25 08:01:54 UTC https://padlet.com/apayne181/b4j5ow2mo1ro/wish/402438935 apayne181 https://padlet.com/apayne181/b4j5ow2mo1ro/wish/408516722  Benjamin Holt invented the tractor. What benefits did the tractor have on the agricultural world?Tractors are used for ploughing, tilling and planting fields. Tractors help reduce the labor of farming. This helps increase the overall pay-out on the farm, which in theory increase the revenue of the farm. ]]> 2019-11-08 07:53:08 UTC https://padlet.com/apayne181/b4j5ow2mo1ro/wish/408516722 apayne181 https://padlet.com/apayne181/b4j5ow2mo1ro/wish/421455964 I choose a picture of a city. the reason why i chose a picture of a city is because of over population and our rapidly expansion. I believe if we do not cut back we will be the main cause of deforestation. If we end up ruining most of our forest and grasslands we will have no room to grow crops. Not to mention the increased pollution and lower amount of trees to produce oxygen. We need to cut back on our concept of agriculture and population expansion . ]]> 2019-12-09 06:03:27 UTC https://padlet.com/apayne181/b4j5ow2mo1ro/wish/421455964
