Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a small bowl, whisk together the flour and baking soda; set aside. In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, combine the butter with both sugars; beat on medium speed until light and fluffy.
Aquatic plants provide important living space for small animals such as aquatic insects, snails, and crustaceans, which in turn supply food for fish and waterfowl. Many studies have shown that vegetated areas support many times more of these tiny creatures than do unvegetated areas.tter, beaver, muskrats, turtles, and moose will also graze on a variety of aquatic plants. Historically humans have also utilized aquatic plants as a food source. Cattails have edible shoots and roots and even the pollen has been used in making biscuits.
Plants provide food to people and animals, regulate the water cycle, create oxygen and provide a habitat for other species. Without plants, life on Earth would not be sustainable for most species, including humans. In addition to regulating the water cycle, plants also help purify the planet's water, which is important to sustain life. Plants and trees create oxygen through a process called photosynthesis. A decrease in plants and trees means a decrease in oxygen, which humans and other species require in order to breathe. These things aside, plants are also used for medicinal purposes. Many plants have healing properties, and one-quarter of prescription drugs come from plants.
