You are Carbon in Plants in Water

As Phytoplankton we’re small, but pack a powerful punch. Believe it or not, we account for half of the photosynthetic activity on earth. Without us, there would be no anchor in the biosphere’s foodchain.

Meaning "wandering plant" phytoplankton are primary producers that live on the surface of almost all bodies of water. Through photosynthesis, primary producers are key starting points of the food chain that create organic compounds from carbon dioxide dissolved into the ocean.

NOTHING

Enter the FOOD CHAIN. Many ocean animals graze on the leaves of aquatic plants like kelp forests, and even deep sea animals consume dead plant matter falling to the ocean floor. Carbon is exchanged from plant matter into tissues of fish, which may in turn be consumed by larger fish.

The process by which a living organism absorbs sources of energy.

Choose DECOMPOSITION. Dead ocean plants rich in carbon sink to the ocean floor, eventually pile up on each other adding more layers to the ocean floor. Pressure from the material and ocean water above compounds the carbon into new long term forms.

No means of escape - if you’re in the ocean and have mass, then you WILL sink to our level. Surrender yourself to SEDIMENT!

The process by which the complex organic molecules are broken down to simpler forms.

C₆H₁₂O₆ = 2C₂H₅OH + 2C0₂

Sugar = Ethanol + Carbon Dioxide
