Without plants we would not have fresh air to breath, food to eat, clothes to wear, drugs to stay healthy, and homes to live in. Plants are not just to be admired they are vital in our survival. ]]> 2018-06-07 20:34:44 UTC https://padlet.com/dspranza/vjc98jlk0r4g/wish/266192769 dspranza https://padlet.com/dspranza/vjc98jlk0r4g/wish/266888042 I chose this video on photosynthesis because it clearly describes the process of how plants obtain food from sunlight. It is a great comparison to how we as humans get our food and energy. Plants need essential items like light, water, nutrients, and soil to grow. The natural light from the sun enables plants to make their own food.

This flower blooms from winter to spring, and its leaves will turn burgundy in the winter. You will find this flower on moist rocky slopes and mossy banks.

There are many factors that affect the sustainability of the marine biome including oil spills, over fishing of marine life, and pollution to the oceans. Oil spills cause major destruction to marine wildlife and plant life. Humans dumping trash in the oceans and companies that do not dispose of waste properly affect ocean life and the health of plants. ]]> 2018-06-21 15:53:10 UTC https://padlet.com/dspranza/vjc98jlk0r4g/wish/268121767 dspranza https://padlet.com/dspranza/vjc98jlk0r4g/wish/269212489 I feel this chart represents the Neolithic Revolution and the affects it had on life. As early farming begin and animals became domesticated, farming became simplified and more crops were available. With better farming techniques there was a surplus of the crops and with this surplus farming settlements became larger, increasing population. All these led to trading of crops transcontinental. ]]> 2018-07-03 01:56:03 UTC https://padlet.com/dspranza/vjc98jlk0r4g/wish/269212489 dspranza https://padlet.com/dspranza/vjc98jlk0r4g/wish/269902333 I chose this picture of combine harvester that harvest the crops and deposits them into the trailer following the tractor. This invention that was made during the 3rd agricultural revolution has simplified the work for the farmers and made it much less time consuming. Leading to more corps being harvested in less time. Prior to inventions like this farmers would have to hand pick their crops. ]]> 2018-07-11 02:36:39 UTC https://padlet.com/dspranza/vjc98jlk0r4g/wish/269902333 dspranza https://padlet.com/dspranza/vjc98jlk0r4g/wish/270328370 The bark of a willow tree provides a key component salicylic acid used to make aspirin.  Aspirin has been used for many years to help alleviate common aches and pains, fevers, and can even help reduce heart attack. The anti-clotting factors found in aspirin can be instrumental in helping in heart attack prevention.

Without the practices that were invented, founded, and practiced in current day the earth could be taken over by plants, the animals that are wild would overtake the cities, and modern medicine would be affected as well. We as humans have become dependent on the inventions of the past. ]]> 2018-07-23 12:54:23 UTC https://padlet.com/dspranza/vjc98jlk0r4g/wish/270864143
