Reality plants do not need us, however we need them to survive. If we continue creating harm towards them in the end we will parish. Plants grow and develop from factors like air and water for example, and if we continue producing toxic waste within those categories of theirs, than we will destroy our main producer of oxygen. The root system is a major player within the plants body because it include anchorage, absorption, storage, transport, and production of certain hormones (from notes). If the soil the roots absorb the nutrients from is more acidic or harmful it will do a major damage to the plant itself, thus shows how what we for them is harmful compared to their benefits to us.]]> 2018-01-17 00:44:16 UTC https://padlet.com/agoodsel/g5zcod588qbl/wish/221923220 agoodsel https://padlet.com/agoodsel/g5zcod588qbl/wish/228417701 I found this interactive animation that helps give a great showing of all the ingredients it takes to allow photosynthesis to occur. By clicking on each item it helped A) show where the ingredient came from (like sunlight), and B) the importance of it. Overall the animation is simple and not complex, but it gives the simplest break down of what it takes to make the process of photosynthesis happen.]]> 2018-02-06 02:23:14 UTC https://padlet.com/agoodsel/g5zcod588qbl/wish/228417701 agoodsel https://padlet.com/agoodsel/g5zcod588qbl/wish/234549766 Researching a native plant for Georgia was actually pretty interesting because it showed what beautiful plant life Georgia truly has (outside of all the big buildings surrounding us). One of the plants I found that is an angiosperm is the flame azalea or also known as by its' common name, Rhododendron calendulaceum. This plant is actually very beautiful and shows the value of nature we have around us. This website also gave good insight for native plant life to Georgia outside of just angiosperms!

People hear all the time about the ice caps melting, polar bears are losing their habitat, etc. Reality is that is true, and those are areas of the arctic tundra biome. The climate is changing and the temperatures in areas keep rising. Now some do and do not believe in global warming, but regardless of that, the Earth is getting hotter than ever before causing the climates to change. However, arctic areas cannot adapt. Arctic is cold and frozen, and when frozen items warm up they melt; like the ice in a drink on a summers day. So in theory, this biome is the most fragile to change and also the most likely to be the biome in the most danger because of climate change.

Without it, and the advances we made from it, we would not be where we are today. The ability to now have food year-round without constantly moving (nomadic lifestyle), allowed those to focus on other factors to help move forward in history. For example, permanent settlements allowed for more population to happen, as well as the ability to learn architectural structures when making more permanent structures instead of tents and temporary living environments. Not only that but it allowed us to be able to develop more communication skills, learn to farm, and much more! This diagram shows the progress that The Neolithic Revolution gave us.

Compared to before where it had to be manual labor, while yes that provide hundreds of jobs, now we have machinery capable of doing what took hundreds of people to do, to only a person operating the machine. With these machines it gave the ability to lower labor cost for companies, which yes hurt a lot of workers financially, but gave the opportunity for other progressions for society since the focus no longer had to be harvesting all the crops.]]> 2018-04-08 21:53:10 UTC https://padlet.com/agoodsel/g5zcod588qbl/wish/249588449 agoodsel https://padlet.com/agoodsel/g5zcod588qbl/wish/252820755 Now in no means am I saying this is the most important plant based ingredient in modern day, but it is the most used in almost everything; that is caffeine which is derived from leaves and fruits of certain plants. With that being said, caffeine is the 'legal drug' everyone uses. It's effects 'hype' everyone up and spikes their physical energy which people want when they did not get enough sleep, warn out, etc. Caffeine can be taken in multiple ways and though multiple sources. Caffeine in the grand scheme of things, even though as always there is downsides, gives people the extra boost when they need to power through the rest of the day. This article does in-depth about caffeine and tells the actual potential health-risk that general society ignores.]]> 2018-04-18 01:33:04 UTC https://padlet.com/agoodsel/g5zcod588qbl/wish/252820755 agoodsel https://padlet.com/agoodsel/g5zcod588qbl/wish/256343184 I chose this image because overall, if present day agricultural, economic, social, and political practices go unchecked than I picture anarchy. Anarchy simply, because in lamest terms, is a state of disorder because of no authority. If we did not have the checking of every part of society, from agricultural to government officials, than anybody could produce their product or push their movement without a care in the world. Companies creating agricultural products would be able to use the worst possible ingredients for consumption in order to make their crops grow fast, have a surplus of crops grown at once, and be able to use the cheapest ingredients so they can maximize their profit. Overall, if there is no checks, there will be anarchy to come.]]> 2018-04-29 21:29:01 UTC https://padlet.com/agoodsel/g5zcod588qbl/wish/256343184
