Plants use sunlight, water, and carbon dioxide to produce glucose, and the oxygen necessary for human life through photosynthesis. Certain plants can also filter harmful pollutants out of the air we breathe. Clean oxygen lessens suffering from asthma and allergies which, in turn, lessens the burden of healthcare in American society. ]]> 2018-01-21 02:38:49 UTC https://padlet.com/lgecowet/hn09box763dp/wish/223058036 lgecowet https://padlet.com/lgecowet/hn09box763dp/wish/228954675 Hank Green does an entertaining yet informative job of explaining a process in terms I can understand. The 13 minute video is worth watching as it teaches, in depth, the complex process that is photosynthesis. I found this video during unit 1 and found it very helpful. Hank Green's channel is called "crash course" and has many videos explaining numerous topics over a multitude of subjects. ]]> 2018-02-07 05:35:54 UTC https://padlet.com/lgecowet/hn09box763dp/wish/228954675 lgecowet https://padlet.com/lgecowet/hn09box763dp/wish/234651459

The Magnolia tripetala or better known as the Umbrella Magnolia is native to Georgia. The Umbrella Magnolia is a flowering tree so it is in the Angiosperm category. The Umbrella Magnolia is deciduous, meaning it sheds its leaves annually.

The Neolithic revolution lead to population increase as well as agricultural expansion. The diagram shows intercontinental expansion and movement in Europe that came as a result of plant domestication and the impact of trading those plants (or crops). Europe was part of Fertile Crescent and grew barley and wheat. The domestic farming of pigs and goats was also significant to the growth of population in this region. ]]> 2018-03-23 03:35:23 UTC https://padlet.com/lgecowet/hn09box763dp/wish/245315001 lgecowet https://padlet.com/lgecowet/hn09box763dp/wish/249619300 Randy is a modern industrial corn farmer. This video illustrates the modern farming techniques he employes to gain higher production yields. Randy employs the use of herbicides and mechanical farming equipment. The use of herbicides, pesticides and fertilizers has allowed the huge gains in agriculture, increasing yields exponentially. Randy's corn production can boost local economy and push society into social stratification. Increased stratification allows for more individuals to be employed in more specialized careers around the globe.  ]]> 2018-04-09 02:20:35 UTC https://padlet.com/lgecowet/hn09box763dp/wish/249619300 lgecowet https://padlet.com/lgecowet/hn09box763dp/wish/252828171 CBD comes from both the hemp plant and psychoactive cannabis.

These gases will cause climate change increasing flooding, storms, and other natural disasters. Ocean levels will rise forever changing the landscape of planet earth. Individuals that still have homes above water will struggle with failing health.
