Primary Production, A Way of Life.

What makes your life on earth possible? Why, primary producers, of course! These organisms produced the first habitable atmosphere on earth and maintain said atmosphere to date. Additionally, as the base of the food-web, autotrophs of all sorts literally helped create all food that you eat and have ever eaten. Not to mention, they are viable food source used in ancient and modern cooking. The ability to take carbon, nitrogen, along with numerous other atoms, and create a sweet, sweet strawberry is an enviable super power. Not only do these organisms provide vital oxygen gas, they range in size from microscopic to gigantic. Inhabiting thousands of diverse environments and highly specialised, autotrophs exemplify how the basic needs of life and lust for survival are found everywhere from mountain tops to abyssal trenches.
