Interaction between science and technology










Picture 1 (left):
Solanum lycopersicum
(Tomatoes)
There is a lot of technology being used. For example, the greenhouse "absorbs" the sunlight and holds on to it longer. This helps the tomatoes grow. The tomatoes are high up so that more sunlight can reach it.


Picture 2 (right):



Fragaria (Strawberry) and Allium cepa (Onion)



The roots of both plants are in the large pipes because water (mixed with other artificial "ingridients") flows through the pipe, giving the roots necessary amount of water. The people maintain water amount and frequency at which the plants are watered. (The onions are in the back, the strawberries are in the front.) The plants are in a greenhouse, which is a technological "invention".



Location: Disney World (Epcot, I think), Florida
