Producers, such as plants and some bacteria, are autotrophs that can manufacture their own food through photosynthesis or chemosynthesis. Consumers, including herbivores, carnivores, and omnivores obtain energy by eating other organisms or their byproducts. Decomposers break down dead and waste materials into simpler molecules and cycle nutrients in the ecosystem. Energy and matter transfer through ecosystems in food chains and interconnected food webs, with producers at the base providing energy and consumers at higher trophic levels.Ecosystems

The document provides information on different types of wastes, ecosystems, and environmental issues. It discusses:
1) Biodegradable wastes such as food and paper break down naturally, while non-biodegradable wastes like plastics persist and can pollute the environment.
2) An ecosystem includes both biotic (living) and abiotic (non-living) components that interact, along with food chains connecting producers, consumers, and decomposers.
3) Environmental problems arise from pollution and depletion of resources. The thinning ozone layer allows more UV radiation to reach the Earth's surface, increasing health risks, while waste disposal methods must account for different waste types.2010 may bioit class syllabus 572010

1. The document discusses how energy from the sun is transferred through ecosystems via various processes like photosynthesis, chemosynthesis, and cellular respiration. It moves from autotrophs to heterotrophs through food chains and webs.
2. As energy moves up trophic levels from producers to primary, secondary, and tertiary consumers, 90% less energy is available at each level. Marine ecosystems tend to have more microscopic autotrophs while terrestrial ecosystems rely more on plant autotrophs and large herbivores.
3. Key biogeochemical cycles like carbon, nitrogen, and phosphorus are outlined as well as how pollutants can biomagnify up food chains. Biodiversity and human impactsU05 Biosphere Ecosphere

Hi, Im Aly Owens, I have a special pleasure to stand here as over a decade ago I graduated from CityU as an international student with an MBA program. I enjoyed the diversity of the school, ability to work and study, the network that came with being here, and of course the price tag for students here has always been more affordable than most around.
Since then I have worked for major corporations like T-Mobile and Microsoft and many more, and I have founded a startup. I've also been teaching product management to ensure my students save time and money to get to the same level as me faster avoiding popular mistakes. Today as Ive transitioned to teaching and focusing on the startup, I hear everybody being concerned about Ai stealing their jobs Well talk about it shortly.
But before that, I want to take you back to 1997. One of my favorite movies is Fifth Element. It wowed me with futuristic predictions when I was a kid and Im impressed by the number of these predictions that have already come true. Self-driving cars, video calls and smart TV, personalized ads and identity scanning. Sci-fi movies and books gave us many ideas and some are being implemented as we speak. But we often get ahead of ourselves:
Flying cars,Colonized planets, Human-like AI: not yet, Time travel, Mind-machine neural interfaces for everyone: Only in experimental stages (e.g. Neuralink).
Cyberpunk dystopias: Some vibes (neon signs + inequality + surveillance), but not total dystopia (thankfully).
On the bright side, we predict that the working hours should drop as Ai becomes our helper and there shouldnt be a need to work 8 hours/day. Nobody knows for sure but we can require that from legislation. Instead of waiting to see what the government and billionaires come up with, I say we should design our own future.
So, we as humans, when we dont know something - fear takes over. The same thing happened during the industrial revolution. In the Industrial Era, machines didnt steal jobsthey transformed them but people were scared about their jobs. The AI era is making similar changes except it feels like robots will take the center stage instead of a human. First off, even when it comes to the hottest space in the military - drones, Ai does a fraction of work. AI algorithms enable real-time decision-making, obstacle avoidance, and mission optimization making drones far more autonomous and capable than traditional remote-controlled aircraft. Key technologies include computer vision for object detection, GPS-enhanced navigation, and neural networks for learning and adaptation. But guess what? There are only 2 companies right now that utilize Ai in drones to make autonomous decisions - Skydio and DJI.
