As a society, we would not exist without plants; we receive our oxygen, food, medicine, and many other things from plants. But instead of taking care of our environment, we destroy it, while recklessly destroying our society. Plants are essential to human survival.]]> 2018-09-06 04:36:21 UTC https://padlet.com/jsebast11/jatjq3t0kcaf/wish/278274552 jsebast11 https://padlet.com/jsebast11/jatjq3t0kcaf/wish/281746693 The overall process of photosynthesis is simple. Plants use sunlight to break down food from other things they intake like carbon dioxide and water. Plants breakdown the water and carbon dioxide into glucose. In exchange the plant releases oxygen and ATP into the air, which is what we need in order to survive. ]]> 2018-09-15 17:52:10 UTC https://padlet.com/jsebast11/jatjq3t0kcaf/wish/281746693 jsebast11 https://padlet.com/jsebast11/jatjq3t0kcaf/wish/287391963 The plant below is known as the Red Buckeye plant but it's taxonomic name is Aesculus pavia. The Red Buckeye is an angiosperm. This plant is considered a small tree or a large shrub. The plant is a hummingbird's favorite snack, though it can be poisonous to human.]]> 2018-09-30 22:04:21 UTC https://padlet.com/jsebast11/jatjq3t0kcaf/wish/287391963 jsebast11 https://padlet.com/jsebast11/jatjq3t0kcaf/wish/292830762 The grassland biome occupies 8% of the world yet only 3.4% of that 8% is protected. A change in rainfall due to global warming can quickly change these grassland biomes into dessert biomes. The grassland biomes have dramatically decreased in size due to humans occupying the space for the creation of urban cities. ]]> 2018-10-15 14:11:44 UTC https://padlet.com/jsebast11/jatjq3t0kcaf/wish/292830762 jsebast11 https://padlet.com/jsebast11/jatjq3t0kcaf/wish/298931125 The Neolithic Era was a game changer for humans. Plant domestication allowed humans to stay in one place and improve as a society. Staying in one specific area allowed humans to reproduce without other factors that could cause death in infants (weather and starvation). A permanent community also helped create specific roles, some were farmers, others were builders, and others were inventors. This all helped the community move forward and grow into the society we are today.]]> 2018-10-31 12:35:05 UTC https://padlet.com/jsebast11/jatjq3t0kcaf/wish/298931125 jsebast11 https://padlet.com/jsebast11/jatjq3t0kcaf/wish/303078404 The third agricultural revolution was shaped by new inventions that could help speed up the process of farming in large quantities. A tractor is a large vehicle that is able to haul equipment and trailers necessary for farming. The tractors main purpose was to reduced the amount of laborers required for a particular task, while improving the efficiency and productivity of farming. I chose this object because even in todays society, the tractor has become an iconic object or any farm because of how influential and necessary it is. ]]> 2018-11-12 01:20:39 UTC https://padlet.com/jsebast11/jatjq3t0kcaf/wish/303078404 jsebast11 https://padlet.com/jsebast11/jatjq3t0kcaf/wish/308853139 Morphine is a narcotic opioid analgesic, which means it provides the same type of pain alleviation as opium. Morphine is derived from the plant Papaver somniferum (poppy). This form of medication is successful, affordable and readily available, which makes it a valuable medication around the world.]]> 2018-11-28 15:50:13 UTC https://padlet.com/jsebast11/jatjq3t0kcaf/wish/308853139 jsebast11 https://padlet.com/jsebast11/jatjq3t0kcaf/wish/311201610 There is a lack of talk about global warming and climate change in today's society, which is a problem. Yes, people have already come up with ways to help this ongoing situation, but we must pressure these solutions in every household. This picture is a result from the rising sea level in Bangladesh in 2016. If we as occupants of this world do not demand a change and participation in the solutions of global warming we will soon see these affects in our neighborhoods.]]> 2018-12-05 02:01:50 UTC https://padlet.com/jsebast11/jatjq3t0kcaf/wish/311201610
