Morning glory (also written as morning-glory) is the common name for over 1,000 species of flowering plants in the family Convolvulaceae, whose current taxonomy and systematics are in flux. Morning glory species belong to many genera, some of which are: 1  Calystegia.
Today, the average rate of energy capture by photosynthesis globally is approximately 130 terawatts, which is about three times the current power consumption of human civilization. Photosynthetic organisms also convert around 100â115 thousand million metric tonnes of carbon into biomass per year.
However, phytoplankton are not the only source of oxygen. Phytoplankton produce oxygen through photosynthesis. Photosynthesis is the process that plants use to produce their own food. During photosynthesis plants use the energy from the sun to convert carbon dioxide from the air into sugar molecules.
