If ice did not float, the world would be a hot mess. Ice reflects lots of sunlight, so if it was at the bottom, our world would be significantly hotter. Additionally, plants grow at the bottom, so if they were trapped in ice, the water would run out of oxygen and everything would die. Bottom feeders would not exist, because they would be frozen. Also, the ice would just like on, because the water above prevents it from melting entirely, leading to all of our bodies of water eventually freezing.

What did the presence of photosynthetic prokaryotes allow
Luden [163]

Answer:

A. more oxygen to enter the atmosphere

Explanation:

Photosynthesis is a metabolic process unique to the cells of autotrophic organisms, due to the possession of the CHLOROPHYLL pigments used in trapping light energy from the sun. Photosynthesis is the process of combining carbondioxide (CO2) and water (H2O) using energy of sunlight to produce glucose and release oxygen gas.

Based on the understanding of the photosynthetic process which is similar in all photosynthetic organisms including photosynthetic prokaryotes e.g. cyanobacteria, the presence of the photosynthetic PROKARYOTE will allow more oxygen in the atmosphere.

Note that, oxygen is released during photosynthesis.

Feliz [49]

Answer:

When you eat carbs, your body breaks them down into simple sugars, which are absorbed into the bloodstream. As the sugar level rises in your body, the pancreas releases a hormone called insulin. Insulin is needed to move sugar from the blood into the cells, where the sugar can be used as an energy source.
