Oxygen molecules diffuse fast because the main gas in a cell in Carbon Dioxide its like if it was 99.9 percent carbon that .1 percent is oxygen and carbon dioxide being what it is. Automatically overrides the amount of oxygen. Basically it is nonpolar
Ocean plants absorb co2 just like trees do. Any co2 that’s not fixed will mess up the chemistry of the waters
This process is referred to as Ammonification, I believe, basically this allows Nitrogen to be in the appropriate form for plants to absorb it.
