Plants Don't Go To Coto and NEVER EVER Procrastinate!!!

Hi, people!!! I hope you're (not your) not relaxing and you're studying for NEXT THURSDAY'S TEST!!! I was watching a film called "Across the Universe" full of songs by the beatles and it ended like this:



As we discussed in our last classes, plants don't need to get their food, they can produce it!!! So, The Beatles were wrong when they say "ALL YOU NEED IS LOVE"!!! This is not correct about plants, all they need is SUNLIGHT, CARBON DIOXIDE and WATER (and of course all our caring love!)
Remember that the process by which plants turn INORGANIC substances into ORGANIC ( means that the composition is CHO) ones is called Photosynthesis


 
And here you can see my friend Hank again:


I´m also posting my power point presentations (Thank you, Miss Andrea!!!) because it was not clear on your booklet

Powerpoint 1

Please, Don't PROCRASTINATE till the night before the test!!!

 (Do you know what PROCRASTINATION is?)

So, don't do this!!!!!

Keep on studying and surprise me on Thursday!!!
