Plants provides us the oxygen that humans need to survive and also use the things we need. In our daily lives we use plants, such as books, shirts, pencils & papers. However, we would not be here if it was not for plants and how much we depend on them. Life is not possible without plants!]]> 2018-08-29 22:24:56 UTC https://padlet.com/kaylaavila53/glwkwv4q1w9/wish/276421500 Unit 2 kaylaavila53 https://padlet.com/kaylaavila53/glwkwv4q1w9/wish/281083268 I chose this video because most of crash course videos make students understand the topic that is being talked about. Photosynthesis is the main topic about plants and chemicals. Most humans think we do not depend on plants but, we do. This video goes into major depth about photosynthesis. Most humans think food has bad chemicals, and they are right. However, that is the process of us living. Plants providing those good or bad chemicals. ]]> 2018-09-13 22:33:31 UTC https://padlet.com/kaylaavila53/glwkwv4q1w9/wish/281083268 Unit 3 kaylaavila53 https://padlet.com/kaylaavila53/glwkwv4q1w9/wish/289419777 Gymnosperms and Angiosperms together comprise the seed plants, which are heterosporous and keep their spores and gametophytes embedded within parental diploid tissue. A tree in Georgia that involves Gymnosperms is called Post Oak. A scientific word for it is, Quercus Stellata. This plant is a slow-growing oak that lives in dry and poor soils. 
Picture above is called the Post Oak tree, also known as Quercus Stellata.

Grasslands have hot summers and cold winters. This means that it can hardly rain. This biome has fall and dry winters, which also means that it can cause fires.There are several dangers to the ecosystem of the grassland biome that threaten the existence of animals and plants native to this area. Fire is necessary to the health of the grassland biome, but it can be a danger to people living nearby this biome. Without fires occurring at certain times of the year, tall-grass prairies would develop into deciduous woodlands. ]]> 2018-10-19 02:34:45 UTC https://padlet.com/kaylaavila53/glwkwv4q1w9/wish/294670300 Unit 5 kaylaavila53 https://padlet.com/kaylaavila53/glwkwv4q1w9/wish/299667968 One benefit during this era is, when the early humans were hunter-gatherers, the entire tribe and family of people were involved in finding food. They were all part of tracking down the animals that were being hunted, skinning, roasting or another part of the process. However, when the humans started farming, they realized that they actually had an abundance of food on their hands and that it was more than they needed. This is called a surplus and can be a benefit during this area. ]]> 2018-11-02 04:26:25 UTC https://padlet.com/kaylaavila53/glwkwv4q1w9/wish/299667968 Unit 6 kaylaavila53 https://padlet.com/kaylaavila53/glwkwv4q1w9/wish/305108121 During the half of 20th corresponded with the exponential growth occurring around the world. A direct result of the second agricultural revolution and its profound effect on Europe's ability to feed itself. Included biotechnology and genetic engineering. However, it also involved increase in chemical fertilizers. Mass production of agricultural goods. ]]> 2018-11-16 03:20:13 UTC https://padlet.com/kaylaavila53/glwkwv4q1w9/wish/305108121 Unit 7 kaylaavila53 https://padlet.com/kaylaavila53/glwkwv4q1w9/wish/308103171 Caffeine is a bitter substance that occurs naturally in more than 60 plants including-Coffee beans, Tea leaves,Kola nuts, which are used to flavor soft drink colas, Cacao pods, which are used to make chocolate products. There is also synthetic (man-made) caffeine. Which is added to some medicines, foods, and drinks. For example, some pain relievers, cold medicines, and over-the-counter medicines for alertness contain synthetic caffeine. So do energy drinks and "energy-boosting" gums and snacks.
Most people consume caffeine from drinks. The amounts of caffeine in different drinks can vary a lot, but it is generally an 8-ounce cup of coffee: 95-200 mg. I chose this topic for my pallet because I'm sure other students did not know basic facts about caffeine that is contained in medicine.

Agricultural is the cultivation of land and breeding of animals and plants to provide food, fiber, medicinal plants and other products to sustain and enhance life. Without fruits and plants being watched by a farmer we would not be able to eat we things we do. That is why the "dead" plant represents how serious agricultual can be if it is left unchecked. ]]> 2018-12-14 04:43:44 UTC https://padlet.com/kaylaavila53/glwkwv4q1w9/wish/314538062
