Insect Pollinated Flower

In this illistration a bee is going to sip the nectar of a marigold, pollinating it. This is an interaction between insects and plants because without the nectar, bees would not be able to build their hives. Likewise, the marigold would not get pollinated if the bee did not sip its nectar.

Bird Pollinated Flower

In this illistration a hummingbird is getting nectar from a Trumpetvine, therefore pollinating it. The hummingbird needs the sugar in the nectar to survive because of its extraordinarily high heart rate. The Trumpetvine would not be pollinated so if the hummingbirds did not need the nectar.

Soybean

The soybean has several economic uses. One who is lactose intolerant may be using soybeans by drinking a glass of soy milk. A vegetarian may eat a tofu burger in place of meat, and tofu is made of soybeans. Soybeans are a huge economical plant in the United States. Even all over the world soy is being used in place of other substances. This makes soybeans a necessary part of the economy and the plant world. Without soybeans many of our options for substitutional products would probably plumit and prices for other alternatives would sky rocket, throwing off the crops portion of the economy at the least.

Wind Pollinated Flower

In this illistration is Fox-tail being pollinated by the wind. Fox-tail is a grass who's pollen grains are dispersed by the wind's forces. Without wind, the pollen grains would not be dispersed and the plant would not be pollinated, nor would its seeds be dispersed later.

Wheat

Wheat can be thought of as something that is not used for much. But wheat is actually quite valuable. It is used for making food, which is what much of the world uses for their food obligations. This makes wheat a staple food for those countries, and more. But even in our own lives we can see wheat in almost everything edible including cookies, pasta, crackers, cakes, and breads. Wheat is also often used as a livestock feed. This is beneficial because they then bought the well-fed livestock and either kept it for themselves for food, or sell it and make somewhat of a profit from it.

Cotton

Cotton is one of the items that the United States exports the most of each year in consumer goods. From the pillows and sheets of our bedspreads to the clothes on our backs, cotton is widely used. After the cotton is harvested, several strands are wound together to create a strong fabric. Cotton is usually used as a fabric to make the clothing when combined with other less organic fabrics. After the cotton has been made into a product, the product is sold for profit. Cotton is one of The United States' biggest exports for consumer goods. Most of the cotton that we export goes to China, who also use it to make clothing and other such items.
