I don't understand 2 concepts in Greenwaves notes (AKA alan's notes).
Concept #1:
Why would a organism want its fatty acid to be more fluid in warmer enviroment? It seems like the opposite to me.

Concept #1:
- In a warmer environment, the organism will want to increase its % of unsaturated fatty acids, so that fatty acids will be more fluid and the melting point will decrease.

Concept #2:
- For each subsequent level in the energy pyramid, the energy increases by 101.
