Respond to each of the following prompts in a couple of sentences. 1. How does eating more meat rather than plants impact the position of humans within food chains or webs? 2. How does eating more meat rather than plants impact the amount of agricultural land needed to support humans? Which type of diet would allow the Earth to support more humans? 3. Relate the laws of thermodynamics to the idea you shared in 2 above.
If the A. sulfidicus bаcteriа hаve a certain amоunt оf energy (fоr the sake of this question, set to 100%), how much energy would you expect there to be at the trophic level of the rat fish? (assume energy conversion efficiencies are similar to the examples we looked at in terrestrial systems)
