And they used the chemical energy produced to draw CO2, carbon dioxide, out of the atmosphere and use it to build sugars and proteins and amino acids, all the things that life is made of.
Basically, we're all made out of sunlight and carbon dioxide.
Every year, they fix 50 billion tons of carbon in the form of carbon dioxide into their bodies that feeds the ocean ecosystem.
Carbon dioxide is increasing in the atmosphere.
For every 400 molecules of carbon dioxide, we have another million molecules of oxygen and nitrogen.
And if you ask the models why did that happen, and you say, okay, well, yes, basically it's because of the carbon dioxide we put into the atmosphere.
We can do some work to mitigate the emissions of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere.
It then fills the alveoli, tiny air sacs that enable the exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide between the lungs and blood.
They hold water in the soil and they take carbon dioxide out of the atmosphere, fundamental to the tackling of climate change.
