half
- According to the video Phytoplankton: Arguably the Most Important Life on Earth, what is the Great Oxidation Event?
All the oxygen helped turn the ocean and skies blue, and jump started the evolution of complex life
- According to the video Why Florida’s Red Tides Is Killing So Many Animals, why are Florida’s red tides more deadly to sea life and us compared to other red algal blooms?
They produce potent neurotoxin called brevetoxins open sodium channels in cells, causing muscles to clench inappropriately and messing with the immune system
