I think it's pretty important to mention that we do make enough food to feed the planet, but that a lot goes to waste. Might be outside the scope of this series.
And into animal products, which is highly inefficient. But yes, it's not a series on sustainability, I think they just tried to find a relevant field of application.
Ribulose Biphosphate! I remember how this molecule was taking up space in my mind for at least a month both in Biochemistry and in genetics! I loved my biochemistry, genetics, and molecular biology and cell biology classes. Getting down to the literal molecule of how life works.
One thing that I've reads that has been proposed is fertilizing the oceans. Much of the ocean doesn't support a lot of life, fertilizing it encourages the growth of plankton which can be harvested for food, and which is food for the rest of the food chain.
You said at 08:15 you said “these three carbon molecules”. Was this supposed to be “carbon atoms”? This may seem obvious to those who know, but to someone that doesn’t know, you said it creates a group of molecules with 3 carbon atoms each. Does this mean 3 Carbon atoms per MOLECULE in said group? But then why refer to it as “three carbon molecules”?

I was gonna comment this; it's not biology, but many potential solutions to feeding a growing population have nothing to do with growing more food.

a lot of it goes to waste intentionally to prevent people from getting free food, since giving away food would hurt profit margins
I agree
Just a reminder that since plants perform both photosynthesis AND cellular respiration, we need them way more than they need us.

Always a wonderful start to my day when crash course uploads.
I’m one of those horticulturists looking to dive deeper into the science to help our future!! Thanks for posting!!
Perfect timing lol. I just had my bio lecture on photosynthesis today.
This video and photosynthesis are awesome.
Thanks
So in other words, we all run on fusion energy. Cool!
Well done :) I think the toughest part of biology is going to be keeping the diversity of plant life in / near its region / area . . .
Today I mainly learned that my cactus does not enjoy getting fist bumped
Interesting to see Bangalore K R market in the intro of the video
I'm here for class !
Thanks Dr Sammy! Always rad! 😁😁
new edpuzzle just dropped‼️‼️‼️🔥🔥🔥
The Hamilton reference ✨✨✨
Thanks!
hello future students
i tried fist-bumping poison ivy, all did not go according to plan
How do you cut open something as small as a chloroplast?
I have a carbon fixation
A science show spreading the "Sugar makes kids hyper" MYTH. Cool...

2.5 million ants to one human? Cant we just eat ants?/s
