I chose this picture of a fruit/veggie garden because it represents life. All natural fruits and veggies are an essential part of a healthy diet. They provide the vitamins we need to stay in good health. We can actually survive off of these plants alone and sustain a healthy life full of energy and strength.

This video clarifies that photo means light and synthesis means putting together. It breaks down what a plant needs to make their food in comparison to what humans nee to make food. Plants need light, water, nutrients and soil, just as we need, water, fire and vegetables. Explanation by animation is fun to watch and keeps my attention.

Gymnosperms are a taxonomic class. They are plants whose seeds are not enclosed in an ovule. Gymnosperm means "naked seed." They have needles that stay green throughout the year. site that explains the difference between the gymnosperm, pteridophytes,  bryophytes, and angiosperms is http://bio11h2015isaiah.weebly.com/bryophytes-pteridophytes-gymnosperms-angiosperms.html]]> 2017-10-01 00:20:05 UTC https://padlet.com/bmcneal/ii84dhm57v81/wish/192715445 Unit 4 bmcneal https://padlet.com/bmcneal/ii84dhm57v81/wish/197154966 A Biome that is in the most danger of ecological changes, in my opinion is the Tundra-"THE ARTIC." The reason I chose this  biome  is because the Thermohaline, which is the circulation; is a part of the large-scale ocean circulation that is driven by global density gradients created by surface heat and freshwater fluxes; may be slowed or stopped due to cold fresh water to the artic oceans. This may occur from global warming. It can cause the Greenland ice and The Artic sea ice to melt. This will cause "Planet wide changes."

The human population has grew over time. This is a positive affect of the Neolithic Revolution. Ten thousand years ago, Hunter Gatherer Bands, scattered seeds near campsites. This made new crops grow. With that, along with climate change and rising temperatures, we have had longer growing seasons and dry land. This gave people more access to food, which lead to longer life spans with the ability to continuously reproduce more children due to the nutrition recourses. Over time this lead to settling and the creation of complex cultures.

During the third agriculture revolution many inventors worked on forming a tractor. The different varieties were created from 1831 to 1876. Then in 1890, John Froelich embarked on a new design along with a blacksmith to create a one cylinder gasoline engine tractor. It drove three miles per hour and threshed over 1000 bushels of grain per day. This helped farmers get things done faster, but cause loss and or shifts of jobs for the regular laborer. The tractor has been and is very beneficial to the way of life across the world throughout history to help humans have quicker access to foods due to farming made easier over time.

"Aloe vera" is a plant species of the genus Aloe. It grows wild in tropical climates around the world and is cultivated for agricultural and medicinal uses. Aloe is also used for decorative purposes and grows successfully indoors as a potted plant.
 As years passed I notice that the chemical from the plant was in several excellent products I used for beauty and health purposes.  It is also in health drinks and some foods. The benefits are and information are listed at this website http://www.wisegeek.org/what-are-some-products-made-with-aloe-vera.htm
here are a list of benefits within this photo below as well http://preventdisease.com/images13/aloe_vera_benefits428.jpg

If we do not take care of our agriculture plants will die and the air we breath will be filled with more pollution and healthy food will be scarce. If these things as well as social and political practices go unchecked then some people will do what they want with no respect to society as we know it and everything will be destroyed. Our living conditions would be dangerous.
