Energy Dynamics in Nature and Humans
Plants and trees efficiently utilize
sunlight energy to break apart carbon dioxide and water molecules through
photosynthesis, producing organic matter and oxygen for their growth and
preservation. Similarly, as human beings, we intake water and consume food
containing nutrients that produce energy and organic matter for the same
purposes. It's important to note that the energy balance in our bodies is
partially beyond the conscious control of our brains when it comes to adjusting
energy intake to expenditure. Thus, effective utilization of our brains is
crucial for sustaining human life and personal growth. (The brain consumes approximately
20% of the body's total energy.)
