Plants are important to society because we use plants for many different purposes such as medicine, clothing and food. Plants are very important to the environment because without plants we could not survive. All humans and animals need plants to sustain life.]]> 2018-09-06 00:12:12 UTC https://padlet.com/kpostell/nljnkzzg096i/wish/278232464 kpostell https://padlet.com/kpostell/nljnkzzg096i/wish/284210729 I chose this animation of photosynthesis because it shows how plants use sunlight to make energy. Plants use the energy of light to convert carbon dioxide and water into glucose. This process provides the basic energy source for all organisms.

The chicory plant is an angiosperm, whose taxonomic name is Cichorium Intybus. The chicory plant is only found in Georgia, and they produce a beautiful purple flower when they bloom.]]> 2018-10-05 00:56:09 UTC https://padlet.com/kpostell/nljnkzzg096i/wish/289429387 kpostell https://padlet.com/kpostell/nljnkzzg096i/wish/294621992 I chose temperate deciduous forest as being the biome in most danger. I believe that this biome is in the most danger because due to global warming, trees cannot photosynthesize properly. This will cause problems in the biome because if trees and plants cannot photosynthesize properly, they cannot receive the amount of energy they need to survive.]]> 2018-10-18 21:35:47 UTC https://padlet.com/kpostell/nljnkzzg096i/wish/294621992 kpostell https://padlet.com/kpostell/nljnkzzg096i/wish/299494255 I chose this diagram of the Neolithic Revolution because it shows the causes as well as the short term and long term effects of the Neolithic Revolution. This diagram shows how there was a growth in population, as well as a stratified class being created. This diagram also shows how people abandoned their nomadic lifestyle to settle in villages. ]]> 2018-11-01 17:28:32 UTC https://padlet.com/kpostell/nljnkzzg096i/wish/299494255 kpostell https://padlet.com/kpostell/nljnkzzg096i/wish/304942756 I chose this picture because it shows how the Third Agricultural Revolution changed the way of farming. This is also called the Green Revolution and began in the 1930's. New agricultural practices were created to help farmers all over the world and eliminate hunger by improving the output and quality of crops.  Farmers could now use the same amount of land and get more crops. ]]> 2018-11-15 18:04:51 UTC https://padlet.com/kpostell/nljnkzzg096i/wish/304942756 kpostell https://padlet.com/kpostell/nljnkzzg096i/wish/309425354 I chose this picture because I believe that nicotine is one of the most influential chemicals derived from plants. Nicotine is a very addictive chemical that is used in cigarettes and other tobacco products. The tobacco industry is worth $35.1 billon, which shows how many people buy nicotine products.]]> 2018-11-29 17:21:59 UTC https://padlet.com/kpostell/nljnkzzg096i/wish/309425354 kpostell https://padlet.com/kpostell/nljnkzzg096i/wish/311052508 I chose this picture because the world’s agricultural system faces a great balancing act. To meet different human needs by 2050, it must simultaneously produce far more food for a population expected to reach about 9.6 billion, provide economic opportunities for the hundreds of millions of rural poor who depend on agriculture for their livelihoods, and reduce environmental impacts, including ecosystem degradation and high greenhouse gas emissions. If our agricultural system becomes lazy, we will suffer great consequences.]]> 2018-12-04 18:14:16 UTC https://padlet.com/kpostell/nljnkzzg096i/wish/311052508
