Bioluminescence or Phytoplankton drifters is probably the Earth’s most critical organism and so it is a vital building block in our food chain. They generate about half of the earth’s oxygen in our atmosphere, and half as much per year as all land plants combined.
Phytoplankton also comprises the base of virtually every ocean food network. A team of international scientists has found that the smallest variety of plankton thrives when levels of (CO2) carbon dioxide, namely the greenhouse gas from human sources, increase the acidity of the sea. …
While the bigger plankton plays a major role in transferring carbon down to the ocean floor. Phytoplankton use sunlight, through photosynthesis from the mixture of nutrients, carbon dioxide, and water to produce and release oxygen and nutrients for other organisms. 71% of the Earth is covered by the ocean, and phytoplankton is responsible for producing as much as half of the oxygen we breathe.
