The ocean produces up to
85 percent of the Earth's
oxygen.
Tiny sea-dwelling creatures called
phytoplankton are actually the ones that
produce the vast majority of the oxygen in
our atmosphere: 50 to 85 percent to be
exact. Though they're too small to see
without a microscope, they live in the
upper layers of water and use the same
method plants do—photosynthesis—to
convert sunlight into energy, creating
oxygen in the process.
Acacia trees can warn
each other of danger.
Arcadia trees, which grow all over the
African savannah, have a unique defense
system. When animals like antelopes start to
gobble up its leaves, the tree increases
tannin production to levels that are toxic to
animals. But that's not all. The tree then
emits a cloud of ethylene gas that travels
through the air, reaching other trees so they
too can begin producing more tannins.
