They provide shelter for animals, oxygen, and they can also be used as medicines to treat illnesses. We all wouldn't exist if plants weren't around, because they are the main source of our oxygen. Plants also reduce the amount of pollution by reducing the amount of carbon dioxide, and they remove bacteria from the water in the ground.]]> 2018-01-20 23:14:03 UTC https://padlet.com/blaughl1/ev84f6inygyr/wish/223051138 blaughl1 https://padlet.com/blaughl1/ev84f6inygyr/wish/228960034 I have always found the Amoeba Sisters on youtube to be so helpful. This video goes in depth about how photosynthesis and all the important functions that take place. It goes over the light independent reaction aka the "calvin cycle". This process takes place in the stroma. This video also goes over the light dependent reaction that occurs in the thylakoids. The animations in the video also help with seeing the stages of photosynthesis since I'm a visual learner.

This moss likes to grow in clumps like other moss. The broom forkmoss has distinct leaves that grow strongly curved to one side. Its pluricellular root structure which helps this moss with water absorption and anchor this plant to the ground.]]> 2018-02-21 02:50:21 UTC https://padlet.com/blaughl1/ev84f6inygyr/wish/233584544 blaughl1 https://padlet.com/blaughl1/ev84f6inygyr/wish/237908027 I believe that the biome in the most danger of ecological change is the grasslands. The reason for this is because we are using it for our needs which is making it the most endangered biome. More than half of the grasslands have been used for crop production, forest plantations, and other land uses.These practices have led to habitat loss, declining biodiversity, desertification and fragmentation.]]> 2018-03-05 02:59:56 UTC https://padlet.com/blaughl1/ev84f6inygyr/wish/237908027 blaughl1 https://padlet.com/blaughl1/ev84f6inygyr/wish/249594727 This website talks about various types of innovations of the Third Agricultural Revolution. One of the most important innovations is the large scale irrigation. Irrigation changed the areas where crops could be grown. When irrigation wasn't invented yet crops could only be in areas where there would be a lot of rainfall. Irrigation made it to where crops could be planted in areas that were dry which increased agricultural production.]]> 2018-04-08 23:00:58 UTC https://padlet.com/blaughl1/ev84f6inygyr/wish/249594727 blaughl1 https://padlet.com/blaughl1/ev84f6inygyr/wish/252398763 I chose the chemical Spiriva found in the plant Atropa belladonna which is found to treat asthma. This chemical has many other benefits that are very helpful. For example, it has been found to boost immunity, parkinson's diease, anxiety, stress, etc. This chemical can help treat what many people go through everyday.]]> 2018-04-17 02:37:50 UTC https://padlet.com/blaughl1/ev84f6inygyr/wish/252398763 blaughl1 https://padlet.com/blaughl1/ev84f6inygyr/wish/256372473 I believe that this is what the world will look like in the future if we do not change what we are doing now. We will cause our world to have nothing left for us to sustain life. We are taking too many resources from the environment and this will end up causing world destruction if we do not change what we are doing.]]> 2018-04-30 01:34:08 UTC https://padlet.com/blaughl1/ev84f6inygyr/wish/256372473
