The picture above shows a human taking in oxygen and breathing out carbon dioxide. The other cycle in the picture shows the tree taking in carbon dioxide and producing oxygen into the air. Humans and plants interact every second of the day. One way they interact is through this cycle seen above. Another way they interact is humans produce genes that can genetically alter a plant. The reason humans do this is so the plants can grow perfect in our environment and in our society. For example, we implant genes in corn seeds so they will grow and resist insects. Other genes can help the corn grow taller, faster, and in an certain season. Both these interactions impact the plant population greatly.
The picture above shows and animal interaction with plants. One way deer can circulate the plant population is by eating the berries off of plants and producing the seeds out the other end. The seeds then go into the ground and are germinated. Then they produce more of that plant. Deer also walk through woods, and get beggars lice, and cockleburs on them. Then, they move around the woods and drop the specimen on the ground and therefore help the plant start a new life.
The picture above shows an insect interaction with a flower. Insects have a major role in the pollination of many flower species. For example, bees, like the one in the picture above, travel from flower to flower gathering pollen along the way. They carry the pollen to each flower they touch and begin the cycle of fertilization for the plant. Some insect pollinated plants would not be able to grow or even exist without our little insect friends.
The picture above shows a cotton field. Cotton impacts the economy in a very large way. The cotton plant provides jobs for many industrial businessmen. It also provides jobs for the farmers who harvest the cotton fields. Once harvested, cotton is shipped to factories all around the world and made into items we use everyday. Over 50% of clothing items used in the U.S. today are made of cotton. Without cotton, we wouldn't have the selection of clothes we do. Other items made mostly of cotton are, fishnets, coffee filters, tents, gunpowder, cotton paper, and in bookbinding. All of us consumers have to buy the products made by cotton, and therefore we put the money we spend into a ongoing cycle through our economy, thus, circulating the economy.
The picture above shows a corn row. Corn has a very large economic impact on society. Corn creates many products that we use in our everyday lives. Some products include, some sodas, cornmeal, corn oil, cereals, tortillas, chips etc. We consume these products in our everyday diet. Corn also provides a source of food for animals. Corn is the main product in grain that cows consume. This makes cows lean, and thick for good processing. We, in turn, eat the cows and pay for their meat. This makes the money in the agricultural market.
The picture above is a spike of wheat. Wheat in the United States provides an economic impact on the agriculture in our society. The Great Plain states rely on agriculture for much of their economic activity. The importance of agriculture can be measured by knowing the money that it makes in the U.S., this is called basic income. Wheat provides many sources of income and products in our society. Farmers are a subject to wheat because they get payed to farm the wheat fields. They own what is called a "cash crop" meaning they plant it, farm it, and collect the money that the product yields. Many products produced by wheat are, flour, herbal shampoos, lotions, baked goods, crackers etc. These are everyday things that we use circulate our economy and therefore are of great economic importance.
