Most of the world's prescription medicines come from synthesized plant compounds.]]> 2020-09-05 21:39:07 UTC https://padlet.com/nprince9/islsb5q2uwn5p445/wish/722856178 nprince9 https://padlet.com/nprince9/islsb5q2uwn5p445/wish/762502809 This video displays the process of Photosynthesis in a very visual way.

The permafrost base is thawing. This is turning the tundra into a source of greenhouse gas emissions, as microbes convert carbon into carbon dioxide and methane.]]> 2020-10-20 02:04:34 UTC https://padlet.com/nprince9/islsb5q2uwn5p445/wish/843319045 nprince9 https://padlet.com/nprince9/islsb5q2uwn5p445/wish/884517361 The Venn diagram below displays the greatest impact on humanity: civilization.
