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.
Most fungi are associated with plants as saprotrophs and decomposers. These fungi break down organic matter of all kinds, including wood and other types of plant material. Wood is composed primarily of cellulose, hemicellulose, and lignin.Lignin is a complex polymer that is highly resistant to degradation, and it encrusts the more readily degradable cellulose and hemicellulose.hese fungi break down organic matter of all kinds, including wood and other types of plant material.
