  • 008 - Energy Flow in Ecosystems
    In this video Paul Andersen explains how energy flows in ecosystems. Energy enters via producers through photosynthesis or chemosynthesis. Producers and consumers release the energy from food through cellular respiration. An explanation of gross primary productivity and net primary productivity are included. Energy and biomass in ecological pyramids show energy efficiency.

    I cannot believe high school students study this! I never did. Nothing even close to it in HS. Everything was general.
    Now as an adult I’m like WT?! and my teens are like, yeah duh - we learned this. You’re generation is going to do so much for our environment. This is so important in understanding our anthropological affects on the environment. You will be the generation that heals our planet! 💕🤗

    A real quick thing I want to add, the energy pyramid. There is a role of the 2nd law of thermodynamics, "energy does not diminish, but the ability to use it does." Something like that, that's why you see only 10% of the energy being passed down, due to respiration taking most of it and keep in mind of that law.

    Paul, can you imagine a way we could industrialize these processes; chemosythesis and/or photosynthesis?
    If we could take our own waste carbon dioxide and use it to produce sugars, would that be a cost effective way to save on production time such that it might entice corporations to get into the business? It would free up a lot of land that we could use for other things, like sanctuaries, preserves, mining or just to reduce the cost of living so that people could distribute themselves more evenly around the globe and not be so isolated to ports where our other waste products may harm things like aquatic biomes such as coral reefs.
    I've been thinking about this for a long time, but in terms of production in space and on other worlds, but the benefits would really help here on Earth, especially with the big panic over CO2 production over the last 20 years or so.
    I was thinking on places like Mars and Venus, after reading The Case for Mars by Robert Zubrin. He discussed the Sabatier reaction, CO2 + 4 H2 → CH4 + 2 H2O + energy, but if we could convert that CO2 into C6H12O6, we'd have fuel for life forms as well. On Venus maybe if we could use the SO2 in the atmosphere the way H2S is used in chemosynthesis, we could get the ball rolling for life there.
    Lots to think about.

    2:30 This one took me a good minute to sort out for myself even though it took you only 7 seconds to say it. "Misconception"? I think you mean "Something not often known." You use that word but immediately go on to explain the right idea, which is exclusively the opposite of a misconception. You might understand my confusion? As a listener, when I hear a setup like "One misconception is," I expect the misconception to be stated, and a correction to be stated. It's subconscious.
    Maybe I'm nitpicking, but this has the potential to be a problem.
    The change in subject came as a surprise. I felt like I was left with a cliffhanger, so my attention was adrift as the lecture continued.
    Many listeners may smooth over their critical thinking when they hear something that dissonant. I mean that they may just make an arbitrary decision on the fly as to what you meant without stopping to think so they won't miss anything. I wonder if a significant fraction of listeners will remember plants as NOT doing cell respiration since that's what anticipation would first determine.
    Thanks for following up with the clarifying sentence at 2:33 or I would have been misinformed rather than momentarily confused.

    So can we conclude that if the human population becomes vegetarian then as secondary consumers (rather than tertiary) there will be more energy to sustain a growing world populations?

    • @xiAGC123
      @xiAGC123 8 років тому +5

      +Liz Taylor no, because without our predation, the other secondary consumers would run wild and eat the plants

    • @veganbackpacking-8559
      @veganbackpacking-8559 7 років тому +8

    • @cacloete4112
      @cacloete4112 7 років тому +7

      I'd say the major problem isn't having enough energy but enough room. We're running out of space for agriculture due to growing human populations. Regardless of whether we're eating crops or meat, if we don't have room for agriculture... we're fucked :(

    • @medandmusings
      @medandmusings 6 років тому +2

      Well, all great points but the animals wouldn't run wild and overtake consumers because our ecosystem runs on negative-feedback inhibition which means there are natural control systems on population control. Additionally, we would not run out of room for agriculture because according to a 2016 BBC report, 68% of the land currently is used for livestock. With years of integration this could be cultivated as agricultural land. Also according to that same report, if the world went vegetarian the world's mortality rate would decrease by a significant amount. However, there are certain economic and sociopolitical drawbacks that would happen. Here is a link to the article: www.bbc.com/future/story/20160926-what-would-happen-if-the-world-suddenly-went-vegetarian
