question 27

Multiple Choice

• B)because photosynthetic protists fix atmospheric carbon dioxide,decreasing atmospheric CO₂ levels
• C)because the increased oxygen consumption by large populations of photosynthetic protists will promote land plants to speed up photosynthesis,thus removing CO₂ from the atmosphere
• D)because photosynthetic protists would release a lot of oxygen,and fertilizing them would increase levels of oxygen in the atmosphere
