Fort Garland was abandoned in 1883, but survives now as the Fort Garland Museum, a prominent example of Colorado's living history. Here visitors wander the fort's parade grounds and adobe buildings while taking in the some of the region's Hispanic folk art.
A plant is made up of microscopic living structures called cells. Like animal cells, plant cells have a nucleus and an oily membrane surrounding the whole cell. A plant cell is also encased in a tough cell wall and usually contains a large, fluid-filled bubble called a vacuole.he stem is the main support of the upright plant, and connects the roots and leaves. It contains bundles of microscopic tubes â xylem vessels, carrying water and minerals, and phloem vessels, carrying food. The stem also has cells with special thickened walls that help to provide strength.
This carbon makes up most of the building materials that plants use to build new leaves, stems, and roots. The oxygen used to build glucose molecules is also from carbon dioxide. Water is another important material plants need to grow, and they get it by absorbing it through their roots. Water is made of two hydrogen atoms and one oxygen atom. The hydrogen in water is used to help build glucose molecules. A plant can be up to 95% water. Think of the water as the filler they use between carbon structures.
