The main and over looked thing they do is help purify the air we breathe. I choose this picture because it is from the amazon rainforest and the amazon is a major part of regulating the earths oxygen levels. Sadly do to deforestation in the last 30 years over 15% has been lost.]]> 2021-06-13 17:37:04 UTC https://padlet.com/skhan62/yxk5a1k01sxnhca6/wish/1603543953 skhan62 https://padlet.com/skhan62/yxk5a1k01sxnhca6/wish/1615560765 This video tells you the breakdown and shows you process of photosynthesis. I choose this particular video because it reminded me of being a kid again and learning about this topic again for the first time. Another reason is that this video is super simple and everyone can learn the basics of photosynthesis off of this. ]]> 2021-06-19 16:11:30 UTC https://padlet.com/skhan62/yxk5a1k01sxnhca6/wish/1615560765 skhan62 https://padlet.com/skhan62/yxk5a1k01sxnhca6/wish/1626521045 This a photo of a bryophyte that is native to Georgia. The name of this plant is called marvelous moss. Plagiomnium insigne is the taxonomic name for this plant.]]> 2021-06-26 18:14:40 UTC https://padlet.com/skhan62/yxk5a1k01sxnhca6/wish/1626521045 skhan62 https://padlet.com/skhan62/yxk5a1k01sxnhca6/wish/1635767010 I believe that the grasslands is super over looked for being a biome that is in ecological change. With the land being so dry, wild fire are a huge concern because they spread very fast. Also with the human population growing more and more, some grasslands have gotten smaller because it being converted into farm land.]]> 2021-07-03 15:39:50 UTC https://padlet.com/skhan62/yxk5a1k01sxnhca6/wish/1635767010 skhan62 https://padlet.com/skhan62/yxk5a1k01sxnhca6/wish/1644689375 The biggest impact I believe was people starting to stay in one place and turning to the farming lifestyle. Before hand people would follow animal packs because that was there main source of food. Now they are staying put and growing their food/population.]]> 2021-07-11 20:11:50 UTC https://padlet.com/skhan62/yxk5a1k01sxnhca6/wish/1644689375 skhan62 https://padlet.com/skhan62/yxk5a1k01sxnhca6/wish/1651532078 In the third agricultural revolution there was a lot of innovation. Some main ones were huge upgrades to gas tractors, combines, reapers, and pickers. This new technology changed the farming world in many different ways because it increased our food/food technology. ]]> 2021-07-15 19:26:12 UTC https://padlet.com/skhan62/yxk5a1k01sxnhca6/wish/1651532078 skhan62 https://padlet.com/skhan62/yxk5a1k01sxnhca6/wish/1659647010 There are many chemicals used in the world that derive from plants. I believe that caffeine is the most used chemical in the world that has came from plants. I say this because coffee for example has caffeine in it and it it is the second most popular drink in the world. ]]> 2021-07-23 20:26:49 UTC https://padlet.com/skhan62/yxk5a1k01sxnhca6/wish/1659647010 skhan62 https://padlet.com/skhan62/yxk5a1k01sxnhca6/wish/1664234664 I believe that the world will not be in good shape in the future. As of right now there are many corrupt leaders in the world and that is only bound to grow over time. As for the environment, I think it will be a total waste later. I say that because of all the trash we humans put out into the environment. You can see it today, for example the great barrier reef has lost over 50% since 1998 so just imagine the next few decades. ]]> 2021-07-29 16:29:27 UTC https://padlet.com/skhan62/yxk5a1k01sxnhca6/wish/1664234664
