The Adventure Continues........ To the Institute of Plant Breeding!!

Welcome! In the trip, we went to places like the DTRI to IRRI. Now lets go to the Institue of Plant Breeding! We've seen many plants there. So fresh and green! Walking around the institute, breathing in the fresh air produced by the beloved plants, was very relaxing and felt good. You could see many green and alive plants, growing healthily. With this post, we hope we shared the experience we gained in this trip.
            Here are some Organisms we saw there:

            -Brown- Colored
Ecological Role: Producer
Ecological Relationships:
          -Predation
               >Eaten: Sweet Potato
               > Eater: Herbivores and Omnivores

                                      We learned that, we need to help our environment with activities like recycling, reusing and reducing, because if we don't we'll be harming the plants around the environment. We need to help our environment, or we'll loose these colorful plants. Pollution can harm these plants and we need to help these plants that produce the oxygen we breathe, the vegetables we eat, and the herbs and such we use for medicine, one of our companions in this earth. We learned we need to help these companions, because pollution is harming them.

                                      We hope you enjoyed this post! We hope we shared our experience and the facts we learned in a presentable and well-mannered way.

    Science Explorers, there is no need to underline the SN since they were italicized already.

    Blogitty, what do you mean by "Eats: Herbivores and Omnivores."

    I guess you want to say: "Eaten by Herbivores & Omnivores," ayt?
