This includes; roots, stems, leaves, fruit, flowers, and seeds. It is important to understand each part and how it contributes to the plants' function. ]]> 2021-08-24 14:24:58 UTC https://padlet.com/krivera317/ju2re8t46kyrkwei/wish/1693718249 krivera317 https://padlet.com/krivera317/ju2re8t46kyrkwei/wish/1713173176 Plants require water, sunlight, and CO2 in order to grow. These things help provide plants with the nutrients they need to grow. This is important to comprehend because plants are vital to all life on earth. They produce the oxygen we breathe, so we have to know how to properly care for them and be aware of what they need to survive. ]]> 2021-09-02 16:16:49 UTC https://padlet.com/krivera317/ju2re8t46kyrkwei/wish/1713173176 krivera317 https://padlet.com/krivera317/ju2re8t46kyrkwei/wish/1758063507 Plants live just about everywhere on Earth. To live in so many different habitats, they have evolved adaptations that allow them to survive and reproduce under a diversity of conditions. This is important to understand because we humans need plants to survive. If plants couldn't adapt to their surroundings, they wouldn't be able to survive in some conditions. The more plants we have here on earth the better!]]> 2021-09-21 18:10:49 UTC https://padlet.com/krivera317/ju2re8t46kyrkwei/wish/1758063507 krivera317 https://padlet.com/krivera317/ju2re8t46kyrkwei/wish/1794206077 A biome is a large geographical area consisting of plant and animal groups that are adapted to that particular environment. The climate, geographic location, and environmental factors largely determines what type of biomes exist. It is important to understand biomes and plant diversity because some plants can only survive in a specific environment. For example, if I were to move to a tundra biome I wouldn't be able to take my golden barrel cactus with me, because it is native to a desert biome.

This is important because domestication has enhanced the reproductive output of crop plants, resulting in more food for everyone to consume. If domestication never happened people would still be hunting and gathering to get their food. ]]> 2021-10-14 16:12:02 UTC https://padlet.com/krivera317/ju2re8t46kyrkwei/wish/1817585676 krivera317 https://padlet.com/krivera317/ju2re8t46kyrkwei/wish/1851813007 Domesticating plants marked a major turning point for humans. The beginning of an agricultural way of life and more permanent civilizations. Humans no longer had to wander to hunt animals and gather plants for their food supplies. Plant domestication led to more food, more free time for humans, increased population, and creations of new tools. ]]> 2021-10-28 16:04:12 UTC https://padlet.com/krivera317/ju2re8t46kyrkwei/wish/1851813007 krivera317 https://padlet.com/krivera317/ju2re8t46kyrkwei/wish/1878892325 The pharmacological industry utilizes medicinal plants due to the presence of an active chemical substance. Medicinal plants are also valuable for the food and cosmetic industry as additives, due to their preservative effects from the presence of antioxidants and antimicrobial constituents. Medicinal plants can be known to reduce the risk of cancer. It is very important to understand that medicinal plants can be very beneficial for your health. There is always an alternative to modern medicine just in case there are too many risks involved. ]]> 2021-11-09 16:53:58 UTC https://padlet.com/krivera317/ju2re8t46kyrkwei/wish/1878892325 krivera317 https://padlet.com/krivera317/ju2re8t46kyrkwei/wish/1925614043 Plants play a vital role in society, they provide us with oxygen, food, medicine, and more. This is why we need to take care of our environment and take the right precautions to make sure our plants survive for years to come. I believe that if the population continues to pollute the environment with harmful substances, our plants will keep diminishing. If we lose plants there will be nothing. Although there are new technologies that can help produce plants faster and better, we can never just rely on them. ]]> 2021-12-02 16:46:02 UTC https://padlet.com/krivera317/ju2re8t46kyrkwei/wish/1925614043
