(Underwater) Photosynthesis

[u/Lang_Buaya_Gaming]

[u/angeesumi1]

I hope it remains "few people have ever seen them" for as long as possible.

[u/Carbon-Base → u/angeesumi1]

"Everything changed when the humans arrived."

[u/Tarynyel → u/Carbon-Base]

Imagine how many rivers/lakes could look like this without humans ...

[u/Carbon-Base → u/Tarynyel]

We are lousy creatures for sure

[u/bbgun142 → u/Carbon-Base]

Yeah I'm quite sad now

[u/only-the-truthh → u/Carbon-Base]

Technically everything we humans do is natural. All materials and resources are from the earth. We do suck at using them in the right way, but if any other animals had the same abilities we do they would do the same.

[u/xMightyTinfoilx → u/only-the-truthh]

Consistently see people putting humans up on some pedestal as if we are some higher being. It's nice to see someone has the same notion as I do about humans and their actions being just as natural as everything else.

[u/OpeningCauliflower50 → u/only-the-truthh]

Yeah digging out tonnes of radioactive material from the ground and throwing them into such biospheres is as natural as it can get, right.

[u/Fouledrifling → u/OpeningCauliflower50]

There have been natural nuclear reactors before we made them.

[u/Eastsider001 → u/Carbon-Base]

Stinking and cluttering up everything everywhere we go. I am sure that we started out as a great contributor to the earth as like everything else on earth until.......

[u/magirevols → u/Carbon-Base]

ever1 has always said ever

[u/joedagrinder → u/Carbon-Base]

Colonizers, almost every first world country’s lakes rivers beaches are polluted. Very few have this the Potomac was pure at one point.

[u/Carbon-Base → u/joedagrinder]

It's interesting to think that the Natives had no significant impact to the environment because they respected nature and lived with it for hundreds of years, but when colonizers arrived from Europe, they immediately wrecked everything.

[u/joedagrinder → u/Carbon-Base]

I think the majority of the Europeans were the first victims of this cancerous take over by catholicism. In my culture revered every single aspect of nature to a point of assigning a god to it. After years of see the pattern in every culture I realize the Europeans had tribes like the Africans & Indians. Some of them had rich rituals, songs, ceremonial mask & great folklore similar to “Le Voodoo” until the Catholics came. You see colonialism was done to the Europeans first then they got on their ships and came here with their bullshit.

[u/Carbon-Base → u/joedagrinder]

So much for spreading joy, love and peace.

[u/thefatchef321 → u/Carbon-Base]

When Christianity arrived... "western" religion (Islam, Christianity, Judaism) is cancer. It's the root of most modern issues.

Religion is used to control populous and create autocratic regimes.

We would be FAR better off without it.

[u/mr_ji → u/angeesumi1]

I like how they say that and then immediately go diving in it

[u/Hard-core-bob-ross → u/mr_ji]

Drones. No way they're diving in that.

[u/mackncheese-87 → u/angeesumi1]

Came here to say it. All we do is wreck things. No respect for other people or nature.

[u/PitchforksEnthusiast]

Anyone know what documentary this is from ?

Edit: Nvm, its from "The Green Planet", with Sir David Attenborough

[u/Vizth → u/PitchforksEnthusiast]

I've never seen green planet before. I had the audio on the clip off. And I still read the captions in Attenboroughs voice.

[u/SkyIrish → u/Vizth]

Same! It's definitely synonymous with these style documentaries.

[u/BinkyFlargle → u/PitchforksEnthusiast]

nah, I know it sounds like him, but judging by the watermark this is clearly green_water_aquascape on tiktok. Unless you think someone would just steal content and slap their name on it, you cynic!

[u/K-E-I-V-E]

The fish swimming look like they are flying through a rolling hillside. So dreamlike. Like something out a fantasy Ghibli movie

[u/r3tromonkey → u/K-E-I-V-E]

It reminded me of Ghibli too. Looks amazing

[u/theJMAN1016 → u/K-E-I-V-E]

You have it backwards.

This is real and where do you think the fantasy idea came from?

[u/Other-Cover9031]

grade A content

[u/geebeem92 → u/Other-Cover9031]

Grade Attenborough content

[u/EmergencyTaco → u/geebeem92]

A global treasure.

[u/Glittering_Act_4059]

Imagine what all our bodies of water would look like if we didn't pollute them.

[u/tomityjenkins → u/Glittering_Act_4059]

They wouldn't actually look much different since most water coloration is due to the productive plankton in the water

[u/FlatPatience2054 → u/Glittering_Act_4059]

If we didn’t exist*

[u/Cookie_Burger → u/Glittering_Act_4059]

The lake where I grew up was beginning to experience pollution problems, so the city made a decision to restrict boat access only to individuals with a residential address in the village. As a result, the lake's ecosystem has shown remarkable improvement. Additionally, the reduction in motorboat noise has created a more peaceful and relaxing environment.

[u/Adam_Gill_1965]

...but the mitochondria is the powerhouse of the cell?!

[u/Bonwilsky → u/Adam_Gill_1965]

They are! Photosynthesis generates glucose (and other sugars) using carbon dioxide, water, and the sun. Mitochondria take the glucose produced by photosynthesis and break it down to produce ATP, carbon dioxide, and water. ATP is the energy currency of all cells. The two processes mirror each other in some interesting ways.

[u/scummy_shower_stall → u/Adam_Gill_1965]

Animal cells. Not plant cells.

[u/BorneWick → u/scummy_shower_stall]

All eukaryotes have mitochondria (almost all anyway), that includes plants.

[u/Consistent-Goat1267]

So beautiful and magical, it looks like it’s from a fairy tale

[u/JaceyD]

I would love to visit this place and see the wonders happen myself, sucb a magical feeling it would be...

Im just afraid that if I could ever see it... I wont be a special person seeing it, meaning that this place will look vastly different and more touristic which would ruin the entire atmosphere.... so I'd rather have this be unexplored and remain magical

[u/Amoeba_3729]

I turned up the volume to see if it was David Attenborough. I love him and his documentaries

[u/mbashs]

The air over there would be crisp af

[u/mr_owl_mark]

The world is truly full of wonder. Now please leave the toilet and return to your job, trying your best not to dwell on the wonder you're missing out on.

[u/scoops22]

These fish are living in a little paradise. I hope it never gets disturbed.

[u/shingaladaz]

Don’t tell people where it is!!!

[u/IlvadurShizer]

The kind of place that when you find it, you leave it and tell nobody about it or where it is.

[u/wastedheadspace]

You must be utterly insane to destroy this

[u/Icy_Engine_7648]

So beautiful

[u/CoconutsCantRun]

Love this. Reminds me of Aquascaping.

[u/PilotC150]

Where do the plants get the CO2 for the photosynthesis?

[u/nikkinoks → u/PilotC150]

CO2 is 20 times more soluble in water than Oxygen because it can form a buffer solution of aqueous bicarbonate and carbonic acid and remain in the water. In this case, it's from the bicarbonate from the deep spring water. (Carbonate is not soluble, but bicarbonate is soluble)

When the water is underground, the pressure ensure that the extra CO2 in the water does not fizzle out. And which is why bottled water from these spring water sources are always very high in bicarbonate.

[u/buymytoy → u/PilotC150]

There is a certain amount of gas exchange between the water and air that will provide at least some CO2 in the water table. Depending on the other environmental factors there could be natural sources as well. Also biological matter decomposing will give off CO2.

[u/HAquarium → u/PilotC150]

Natural waters contain levels of co2 that high tech systems inject. This comes from a large variety of sources: high organics, natural spring water, gas exchange, etc.

[u/DweeblesX]

Mother Nature herself is going to take a minute of silence the day David Attenborough passes.

[u/Greyzzr314]

And now that it’s on the internet some asshat will go Find it and mess it Up

[u/_NoIdeaForName_]

The plants there look so soft that I want to shrink myself so I can sleep on them

[u/Lang_Buaya_Gaming → u/_NoIdeaForName_]

I wish i can breath underwater and join you sleeping on that fluffy grass 🙂

[u/WholeBlueBerry4 → u/_NoIdeaForName_]

                so do i

[u/ito24ua]

Most photosynthesis is underwater photosynthesis

[u/cherryoctopie69]

THE GRASS IS BREATHING!

[u/WholeBlueBerry4]

Even while accepting that different parts of Earth are/should-stay different,

Am Wishing all of Earth and everything on it was as healthy peaceful useful beautiful as what I just saw on this video

[u/WholeBlueBerry4]

Excellent beautiful video

[u/Nuclear_Fedelini]

Why do I only see water related clips when there's a heat advisory?? That water looks beautiful and cold, but I'm pretty sure all the water in my area is boiling by now. TvT

[u/Lang_Buaya_Gaming → u/Nuclear_Fedelini]

Time to grab some cold drinks 🧋🍹

[u/CrisXIII]

NEVER let humans get there. We tend to destroy everything we touch

[u/teriases]

Damn that was therapeutic thanks for sharing ❤️❤️❤️🙏🏼

[u/American-Punk-Dragon]

David Attenborough is THE GOAT narrator!!

[u/Hunter_Champion_615]

That shit happens in my aquarium lol

[u/48HoursLater]

random, but I wish sir Attenborough could navigate a tour of my planted home aquarium. I'd feel so validated 😂

[u/mologav]

It’s a really beautiful planet we are fucking up

[u/No_Cauliflower_9257]

I tiered up with a smile 😂on the most beautiful thing I ever seen in nature thank you !!

[u/alyhasnohead]

I hope the next time I see this area in a video it isn’t sponsored by nordvpn

[u/Fresh-Blackberry8453]

Never seen this b4

[u/valetman1]

Yup 👍🏾

[u/No_Firefighter3550]

Entitled humans have not reached it yet

[u/OneAboveAll_127]

How do the plants get CO2?

[u/cherryoctopie69]

The grass rising to the surface is the equivalent to us going to space

[u/Dr7ejazi]

Whenever i swim, bubbles of gas appear, evidence of photosynthesis?

[u/bustaznuts2]

Freaking Awesome

[u/NeededHumanity]

can't wait to see the influencers get there, and then the land developer will shortly follow

[u/No-Paramedic7860]

What is this? Where can I watch it???

[u/Ivatan_]

Had it on mute, but still heard the accent in the subtitles.

[u/xXRH11NOXx]

What episode is this

[u/Brown052717]

Very cool and beautiful!

[u/UltraMegaFauna]

Now this is satisfying.

[u/Ledude15]

What’s the song?

[u/Rreeheheehehehe]

at least you can see that shark that’s about to get you so it’s not as scary lol

[u/AlyssaTells]

This is so awesome. And I hope no greedy corporations try and exploit what's there.

[u/brihamedit]

It looks super cool. But this stuff is not going to be this serene. Vr would be the best way to get an immersive experience.

[u/CarpetH4ter]

We should drain it and build a wallmart and coal power plant there.

[u/Jazzlike_Surprise985]

I want to be reborn as a frog in this bog

[u/photo_trekkiee]

I see this in aquarium when ever I add co 2

[u/Stunning-Breath-5607]

No humans no problems

[u/Sentinelexe]

Which show and which episode is this from?

[u/DeltaDP]

My fish tank does this everyday

[u/Carbon-Base]

It feels good that there are places like this in our world that are yet to be discovered and pure from humanity's greed.

[u/ScoreTricky365]

Thought train hit me: If you made like.. diving bell/something like it, and collected the oxygen coming off of the plants before reaching the surface, would it, in a sense, be the most legendary whiff of air you’d ever get?

[u/Special_Lychee_6847]

Just a thought.... We're alm so worried about the climate, and thinking of creative ways to do better. Meanwhile, building mass meat farms, because 'we need meat to survive. (We don't).

What happens if we all just start filling up (parts of) oir lawns with actual plants, instead of just grass that with mowing taken into account, doesn't really contribute to oxygen production?

[u/Impossible-Baker9063]

This is one of the most beautiful sightings I've seen of the river, and the way you see life thriving is just amazing. I plan to make one in the foreseeable future. Nurture my own lake, bring life back to the view.

[u/TravelinChris]

Exactly how all our beautiful and even the ugly tributaries/creeks/streams looked before humans got greedy

[u/MOralez_051]

God is Great

[u/No-Paramedic7860 → u/MOralez_051]

God is good

[u/No-Paramedic7860 → u/No-Paramedic7860]

Let us thank him for our food

[u/RuriiroKujaku]

ThIs MEanS wE aRE caRbON NeuTrAL Now?

[u/humanperson1236]

underwater lightmode leaked gameplay😲🤯

[u/OllieNorthh]

People suck

[u/Resident_Hyena_5629]

Untouched beauty... so let's drop a motorized camera in there and drive it around 😉

[u/ObssesiveFujoshi]

u/savevideo

[u/ProsperoII]

I love when Winnie-the-Pooh explains nature to me.

[u/TheKingOfNothingBtw]

Why is winnie the pooh narrating though?

[u/Adorable-Citron4681]

OMG ,when one sees it as it is ,then we and other animals .breath plant FARTS !!!!!

[u/hihirogane]

Aquarium goals.

[u/J-jonah-jameanson]

An oil rig would look nice here

[u/Gullible-Life-9329]

Looks like the perfect spot to build an oil rig

[u/Senkosoda]

the farting lake

[u/Snoopy_Santucci]

This sub has lost its purpose, though the only satisfying in this video are the water druplets that fall on water.

[u/an0mn0mn0m → u/Snoopy_Santucci]

Did you not watch the whole video?
