Biodiversity
« « Without bio diversity, there is no future for humanity«, Professor David MacDonald, Oxford University
we owe every breath we take to a biological product of marine animals mostly invisible to the naked eye.
If global warming causes phytoplankton populations to Favour mixotrophs, Then phytoplankton will move from carbon absorbing to carbon emitting organisms.
According to the national oceanic and atmospheric administration US Department of commerce N OAA more than half of the oxygen, you breathe comes from the marine photosynthesises like phytoplankton and seaweed.
Humans in the most all over animals depend on oxygen in the atmosphere or water to respire that is to produce energy at the cellular level necessary for survival. Mossi animals extract oxygen directly from ocean water while land animals rev from earth atmosphere which consists of about 21% oxygen.
Oxygen has always been given elements in the air. It is relatively recent development. Until around 600 million years ago our atmosphere was composed of less than 5%. Oxygen was mainly nitrogen and carbon dioxide mixture which states back to earth formative volcanic activity over 4 billion years..
Fortunately, for us organisms involved could use carbon dioxide and solar radiation to produce metabolic energy and oxygen in a process called photosynthesis. We may Think of promoter synthesis as the life process of land plants, algae and a variety of other microscopic organisms called my phytoplankton photosynthesis long before terrestrial plants appeared. These organisms that reduce dioxide and produce oxygen are generally known as primary produces a term indicative of their role in creating the necessary environment for more complex life to flourish.
As the ocean produces diversified spread that oxygen increased roughly the level of today setting the stage for aquatic animals and plants to make the transition into land. Seasonal blooms still for over half of photosynthesis and subsequent atmospheric oxygen production on earth. It’s hard to believe, but we owe every breath we take to biological animals almost invisible to the naked eye.
