Actually, it would make more sense to model it for growth and just use negative t values when you want to go backward, so:

The 'switch' has to evolve.
In other words, the mechanism by which the environment influences expression of genes is subject to natural selection.

I didn't watch the video yet. Will watch after post.

It can't be H+ if it's still attached to the carbon ring.
I think that positive charge is supposed to be on the carbon in the ring (which may stabilize the cation? I can't really remember how rings interact in this case)

Because photosynthesis is around 8% efficient and we, as animals, don't just stay still (i.e. We need fuel to power our muscles and nervous system and photosynthesis isn't going to cut it).
