    The Carbon Cycle01:14

    The Carbon Cycle

    Carbon is the basis of all organic matter on Earth, and is recycled through the ecosystem in two primary processes: one in which carbon is exchanged among living organisms, and one in which carbon is cycled over long periods of time through fossilized organic remains, weathering of rocks, and volcanic activity. Human activities, including increased agricultural practices and the burning of fossil fuels, has greatly affected the balance of the natural carbon cycle.
    Energy Budgets and Reproductive Strategies00:51

    Energy Budgets and Reproductive Strategies

    Organisms must balance energy intake with the energy required for growth, maintenance, and reproduction. These trade-offs result in a variety of survivorship and reproductive strategies, including semelparity and iteroparity. Semelparous species reproduce only once in their lifetime, often investing most available resources into that single reproductive event. Iteroparous species, by contrast, reproduce multiple times over their lifetimes, typically allocating fewer resources to any single...

    Sustainable Development

    As the human population continues to grow and use resources, we must be mindful of our planet’s natural limits. Sustainable development provides a pathway to maintain and improve human life now while also ensuring that future generations will have the resources that they need. The long-term success of sustainability efforts rests on understanding the interplay between human actions and ecological systems.

    Design Example: Sustainability in Concrete Building

    As the construction industry moves towards more eco-friendly practices, concrete's adaptability and its ability to incorporate sustainable features make it a key material in the drive towards greener building solutions.
    There are multiple approaches to achieve sustainability in a commercial concrete building. For instance, construct a concrete parking area under the building, utilizing pervious concrete paver blocks in open areas to facilitate rainwater collection through an underground cistern.
    Carbon-dioxide Fixation01:28

    Carbon-dioxide Fixation

    Carbon dioxide fixation in prokaryotes enables the assimilation of inorganic carbon into organic molecules, supporting biosynthetic pathways, sustaining ecosystems, and contributing to the global carbon cycle. It also has industrial applications in carbon capture and bioproduct synthesis. Autotrophic organisms rely on this process to utilize CO₂ as a carbon source in diverse environments.The Calvin CycleThe Calvin cycle is the most widespread carbon fixation mechanism, primarily used by...
    Green’s Theorem01:27

    Green’s Theorem

    Green’s Theorem establishes a relationship between a line integral around a closed plane curve and a double integral over the region enclosed by that curve. It applies to a vector field F(x, y) = 〈P(x, y), Q(x, y)〉, where P and Q have continuous first partial derivatives on an open set containing the region.Let C be a positively oriented, simple, closed, piecewise smooth curve, and let R be the plane region bounded by C. Green’s Theorem states that\begin{equation*}\oint_C P\,dx+Q\,dy =\iint_R...
