Reflection Paper On Plants

his semester intrigued my curiosity about plants , and how are they seen in this modern society. Nowadays plants are not seeing as a priority like back in the days. Before the industrialization the agricultures was one of the primary money maker. Nowadays what has being making money and being important to society has being the different innovations in technology. Plants have being gradually forgotten in the past couple of centuries (industrialization 1800s) . As a biology major, this semester I had the experience to study the plant tissues, organ system, and how they affect the environment. While I was learning about plants I was able to realized that prior this class my knowledge about the effect of plants in the world was minimum. This

During this semester I had the chance to study plants at a cellular level, and I had the chance to understand how important they are for every organism. Everything we eat comes directly or indirectly from plants. Throughout human history, approximately 7,000 different plant species have been used as food by people (Britanica-online.com). By a process that only plants can do, called photosynthesis, plants are able to convert light energy from the sun into food. In this process plants are able to create food from a chemical reaction that involves carbon dioxide, water, and sunlight. This process is able to produce sugar(food), and oxygen. The sugar created by this reaction it is what holds the energy that herbivores and omnivores get while eating plants. According to a website called botanical-online.com, “All other living organisms on earth feed on organic matter produced by plants and some lower organisms. First, the primary consumers or herbivores that incorporate food in their bodies produced by plants. For example, a rabbit eats the carrot or a crab larvae consume the tiny plant organisms that float
