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.
