The sun give off light to help the plant to provide oxygen. Then, people give off carbon dioxide to help plants. So basically its a cycle where help each other to live. If we didn't have one of items for the cycle , everything want be able to functioning right. We need photosynthesis to reproduce.]]> 2018-01-10 18:33:55 UTC https://padlet.com/tpayton3/mx4v0oftixcl/wish/220321407 Unit 2 tpayton3 https://padlet.com/tpayton3/mx4v0oftixcl/wish/224880005 Autotrophs store chemical energy in carbohydrate food molecules they build themselves. Most autotrophs make their food through photosynthesis using the energy of the sun. Photosynthesis occurs in the chloroplast, an organelle specific to plant cells.The light reactions of photosynthesis occur in the thylakoid membranes of the chloroplast.]]> 2018-01-25 21:18:02 UTC https://padlet.com/tpayton3/mx4v0oftixcl/wish/224880005 Unit 3 tpayton3 https://padlet.com/tpayton3/mx4v0oftixcl/wish/232552860   Flame Azaleas(Rhododendron) are often described according to the shape or form of their flower. The stigma, style and ovary make up the female part of the flower. The male part of the flower includes the anthers and filament, which make up the stamen. In some flowers, the sepals are green and leaf-like, while in others they are colored like petals. ]]> 2018-02-17 06:19:55 UTC https://padlet.com/tpayton3/mx4v0oftixcl/wish/232552860 Unit 4 tpayton3 https://padlet.com/tpayton3/mx4v0oftixcl/wish/235120634  Desert plants go wild during wet years when treated to excess carbon dioxide, researchers say. The finding backs up climate change models, which predict that rising levels of atmospheric CO2 will disrupt the ecology of sensitive desert ecosystems. Experts fear that the change will favor invasive plants given to triggering wildfires. Global-warming researchers predict that such massive increases will eventually transform desert ecosystems. The boom in plant growth is expected to upset delicately balanced desert ecosystems--changing the nutrient cycle, fire cycle, and distribution of water. ]]> 2018-02-25 18:04:09 UTC https://padlet.com/tpayton3/mx4v0oftixcl/wish/235120634 Unit 5 tpayton3 https://padlet.com/tpayton3/mx4v0oftixcl/wish/242583421 The price of this intervention was high. Dense urban societies were extremely vulnerable to changes in weather, climate, disease conditions, wood supplies, and trade links to distant regions. After the appearance of complex societies, humans stepped up their efforts to manipulate and control their physical and natural environment. Deforestation and consequent erosion threatened periodic food shortages and social conflict.  Habitation in densely packed villages and cities brought humans in closer contact with disease-carrying animals, resulting in greater vulnerability to epidemic infections. In the cases of some complex societies, ecological problems stimulated social and economic innovations to improve conditions or stave off disaster.

Areas of Plant and Animal Domestication subsistence agriculture replaced hunting and gathering activities in many parts of the globe when people understood the advantages of a secure food source. Human civilization, writing, economics, and government developed. 
 Shifting cultivation is different from crop rotation, whereby fields are continually used but with complimentary crops that balance nutrient usage of the soil. Mechanization replaced human farm labor with machines. Chemical farming with synthetic fertilizers that application of herbicides, fungicides, and pesticides to crops to enhance yields. Globally widespread food manufacturing that adding economic value to agricultural products (i.e., processing food between farms and markets).

Coffee beans, tea leaves, cacao pods, kola nuts and garana are examples of caffeine. Its found in multiple plants and is used in many medicinal and every day products. It evolved on four separate continents. There has been a hypothesis that caffeine functions as a pesticide it makes people feel great, sharper, less tired, and even a little stronger. Coffee plants also use caffeine to ward off insects that would otherwise feast on their leaves and beans. Also a fun fact, coffee can be used as a fertilizer for plants.
