How did photosynthesis lead to the development of animals living on land?

<span>Around 2.4 billion years ago, the first photosynthetic organisms appeared and used inorganic matter like carbon dioxide and water to produce glucose, with oxygen released in the atmosphere. Because of this, oxygen levels rose; this is called the <em>Great Oxygenation Event</em><span><em>.</em> Through time, photosynthetic organisms evolved to live in land (now as plants). As concentrations of oxygen in the atmosphere became higher, marine animals evolved to utilize oxygen readily available from the atmosphere (rather dissolved in water) hence the evolution of marine animals to land animals capable of respiration in land. </span></span>

Photosynthesis was essential for filling the Earth atmosphere with oxygen that is necessary for metabolic processes of all animals.
Only after the plants colonized the land and raised the levels of oxygen in the atmosphere to levels high enough to sustain animal respiration did the animals move from aquatic to terrestrial way of life.

Can the environment and the heritage be used to describe evolution?
guapka [62]
Evolution is caused by genetic mutations that become favorable for survival.

For example if a bird has a mutation that gives it a longer beak and it lives in an environment in which a longer beak lets the bird catch more food- the longer beak becomes a favorable trait.

Now the bird is able to survive “better” thus it lives longer(due to its ability to catch more food). Because of this it reproduces more and passes the trait on to its offspring.
Overtime this mutation takes over the population of birds in the area.

Which substance should have its atmospheric concentrations reduced in
olga nikolaevna [1]

Answer:

B. Sulfur

Explanation:

Acid rain is <u>the result of sulfur dioxide emissions combined with nitroxen oxides.</u> This occurs when both compounds interact with water and oxygen (and other molecules) that are already present in the atmosphere.

This phenomenon is extremely dangerous for both humans, fauna, and flora, especially when it comes to aquatic organisms. <u>Some freshwater fish species, for instance, are not able to grow or develop due to the increased pH. In other cases, when the pH is even lower, organisms are not able to cope and eventually die.</u>

Therefore, a reduction in atmospheric concentrations of sulfure could reduce acid rain and return rain to its normal pH.
