This picture shows how a plant is affected by the factors known as phototropism, geotropism, hydrotropism, chemotropism, thigmotropism and lastly aerotropism even if we cannot see the wind you can image it, causing the plant to move. Also, that as the plant begins to grow the five main hormones are causing the plant structure to grow depending on which hormone is affected by the factors.]]> 2019-01-09 22:02:43 UTC https://padlet.com/mbelman/r3tlxtcwjcz2/wish/319035539 mbelman https://padlet.com/mbelman/r3tlxtcwjcz2/wish/324739453 The animation below on photosynthesis display the basic understanding of the process. It shows how the plant takes in carbon dioxide from the atmosphere through the stomata’s in the leaves to convert it to Oxygen. The picture also shows that along with oxygen being lease some water vapor also exits the plant. It explains that the plant root takes the water to leaf to combine it with carbon dioxide and the light absorb to make sugar that is later used to make ADP.]]> 2019-01-27 22:22:01 UTC https://padlet.com/mbelman/r3tlxtcwjcz2/wish/324739453 mbelman https://padlet.com/mbelman/r3tlxtcwjcz2/wish/324740113 Rhododendron Vaseyi is a dicot angiosperm that grows in the Blue Ridge Parkway. Angiosperms have both male and female structure to help them reproduce. These flowers have a multiple of five petals, two cotyledons when it starts to grow, a circularly arranged vascular bundles, and leaves that have branching veins.

It has temperatures that change from hot during the day to clod during the night. It is the driest and hottest place with very little precipitation and only a few plants like cacti, cholla, barrel, and prickly pear.]]> 2019-02-22 03:23:22 UTC https://padlet.com/mbelman/r3tlxtcwjcz2/wish/334004732 mbelman https://padlet.com/mbelman/r3tlxtcwjcz2/wish/339516927 The Neolithic Revolution started in 10000 B.C. when the ice age ended leading the Neolithic people to start growing crops, which led to farming and humans settling down near their food source. Humans did not have to worry about food anymore since they were creating a surplus, had particular labors and had developed new technologies to help them with the farming. Negative aspects of this evolution were that it led to the Social class structure where the primary goal was to attain food for survival. Also, gender inequality started to occur when men had to work for the money (food) and power, while women stayed behind and took care of the children.]]> 2019-03-09 02:51:48 UTC https://padlet.com/mbelman/r3tlxtcwjcz2/wish/339516927 mbelman https://padlet.com/mbelman/r3tlxtcwjcz2/wish/345527916 The Third Agricultural Revolution was the expansion of growing fields that were too big to be water. The large-scale irrigation system helped improve the watering of plants in a more productive way. It also helped farmers save money since the sprinklers produce large water droplets with low pressure and could reduce losses to wind drift and evaporation.]]> 2019-03-27 02:34:13 UTC https://padlet.com/mbelman/r3tlxtcwjcz2/wish/345527916 mbelman https://padlet.com/mbelman/r3tlxtcwjcz2/wish/349265467 Poppy latex from Papaver somniferum most commonly known as morphine which can help lessen pain.

If the population keeps growing, the production of goods also has to increase. Today around 800,000,000 billion people are hungry or do not have the goods required for a healthy lifestyle. Innovations may help produce more goods, but the soil and the nutrients the soil contains can also be affected if not appropriately managed. ]]> 2019-04-07 16:49:49 UTC https://padlet.com/mbelman/r3tlxtcwjcz2/wish/349268177
