A: List the major ideas, concepts or key points-point by point:
- In habitats 3 quarters of the Earth's surface, less than 1 percent of 600 billion metric tons of carbon.
- The world's marine phytoplankton were to die today, the concentration of CO2 in the atmosphere would rise by 200 parts per million or 35 percent in a matter of centuries.
- Phytoplankton take all the energy from the sun toward photosynthesis and reproduction, cell divide every six days.
- Phytoplankton live in the top 100 meter of the ocean and cover 3/4 of the earth's surface.
- Phytoplankton remove carbon dioxide from the surface water and atmosphere then stores it into the deep ocean.
- All the nutrients released in the deep sea find their way via up welling but burning fossil fuels returns the carbon dioxide back to the atmosphere.
- Most influential to climate is the organic matter that sinks to into the deep ocean before it decays.
- Ocean fertilization would have to be conducted year in and year out for decades.
- Nutrients need nitrogen and phosphorus by burning fossil fuels so people are bringing buried carbon dioxide (CO2) back into circulation.
-The increase of iron to the oceans during glacial times stimulates both nitrogen fixation and phytoplankton use of nutrients that enhances the biological pump which is more carbon dioxide (CO@) out of the atmosphere.
- Computer simulations and studies of natural phytoplankton blooms indicate that enhancing primary productivity could lead to local problems of severe oxygen depletion.
B:Summarize the AUTHOR's main point or idea - at LEAST 1-2 paragraphs:
We all know that the earth is about 70% of the earth's surface is covered with water. But inside that water their are about 1 to 10 million total marine species that is floating around and living in the dark deep of the ocean. The Phytoplankton is one of the organism that is living along with the other marine species and Phytoplankton are consisting of microscopic plants that is a really important for the ecosystem. Most of the Phytoplankton live in all bodies of water, but they are predominately found in very sunny areas of the open ocean. To able this organism to be alive they need food from the sun, by using the process called photosynthesis. They need carbon dioxide that we give in order to stay them alive. Phytoplankton takes a lot of carbon dioxide more than any other plant that is living under the ocean.
C:Write a reaction paragraph to the article stating your own thoughts on the topic:
Before reading this article, when I quick through all I see was this big giant picture of pytoplankton and didn't realize what's the good and bad about them. And also I didn't think that pytoplankton was a big of a deal to our environment and didn't know what' can they impact to the environment since they are microscopic organism that floats to the mid of the surface. After reading the whole article about the Phytoplankton the information about them is starts to pop up and more good things about what role they do in our oceans.
