Las algas no se asfixian por el CO2, como nosotros. Se asfixiarían por el oxígeno que producen, aunque en realidad no las asfixia, sino que es problemático. El CO2 sí lo aprovechan todo. | The algae are not going to suffocate because of CO2, as we would. They suffocate because they produce oxygen, and they don't really suffocate, but the oxygen that they produce is problematic, and they use up all the CO2. |
