Plant-Human Interaction


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.
