Powerful Plankton
The U.S. Naval Research Laboratory has created an experimental marine fuel cell
that could produce enough electricity to power ocean-monitoring devices. This fuel cell
runs on seawater and sediment, with the help of plankton. Some plankton on the surface
of ocean sediments use dissolved oxygen to break down organic matter, releasing
energy; this is an aerobic process. The plankton in the deeper sediments break down
organic matter without using oxygen; this is an anaerobic process. These two processes
create a difference in voltage between the surface of the sediment and the sediment
farther down in the seabed. The voltage difference can be used to produce electricity-up
to 5.0 x 10 – 2 watts of power. Energy supplied by this type of fuel cell can be obtained
as long as there is organic matter in the sediment. Some zooplankton belong to the
kingdom Protista. Members of this kingdom are characterized as —
A having segmented bodies with jointed appendages
