11 Facts About Marine life
2.
Second, the diversity of Marine life is not a set of unique organisms, but organisms that share morphological similarities.

3.
Microscopic life undersea is diverse and still poorly understood, such as for the role of viruses in marine ecosystems.
| FactSnippet No. 2,245,701 |
4.
Viruses are found wherever there is Marine life and have probably existed since living cells first evolved.
| FactSnippet No. 2,245,702 |
5.
Marine life fungi survive in a constant oxygen deficient environment, and therefore depend on oxygen diffusion by turbulence and oxygen generated by photosynthetic organisms.
| FactSnippet No. 2,245,703 |
6.
Marine life invertebrates are animals that inhabit a marine environment apart from the vertebrate members of the chordate phylum; invertebrates lack a vertebral column.

9.
Marine primary producers are important because they underpin almost all marine animal life by generating most of the oxygen and food that provide other organisms with the chemical energy they need to exist.

10.
Until approximately 600 million years ago, all Marine life consisted of archaea, bacteria, protozoans and similar single-celled organisms.
