Das lebendige Universum

Zusammenfassung

Luftsauerstoff ist für das tierische Leben unverzichtbar, vor allem für uns selbst. Ein gesunder erwachsener Mensch kann zwei Wochen ohne Nahrung und mehrere Tage ohne Wasser aushalten, aber nicht mehr als fünf Minuten ohne Sauerstoff, ohne bleibende Schäden davonzutragen. Jedes Schulkind weiß, dass grüne Pflanzen die Energie des Sonnenlichts nutzen, um den Sauerstoff zu erzeugen, den wir einatmen.
