Biologist know that some marine algae can create clouds by producing the gas dimethyl sulphide (DMS), which reacts with oxygen in air above the sea to form solid particles. These particles provide a surface on which water vapor can condense to form clouds. Lovelock contends that this process is part of global climatic-control system. According to Lovelock, Earth acts like a super organism, with all its biological and physical systems cooperating to keep it healthy. He hypothesized that warmer conditions increase algal activity and DMS output, seeding more clouds, which cool the planet by blocking out the Sun. Then, as the climate cools, algal activity and DMS level decrease and the cycle continues. In response to biologists who question how organisms presumably working for their own selfish ends could have evolved to behave in a way that benefits not only the planet but the organisms as well, cooling benefits the algae, which remain at the ocean surface, because it allows the cooled upper layers of the ocean to sink, and then the circulating water carries nutrients upward from the depths below. Algae may also benefit from nitrogen raining down from clouds they have helped to form. [br] Which of the following is most similar to the role played by marine algae in the global climate control system proposed by Lovelock?
选项
A、A fan that continually replaces stale air in a room with fresh air from outside.
B、A thermostat that automatically controls an air-conditioning system.
C、An insulating blanket that retains heat.
D、A filter used to purify water.
E、A dehumidifier that constantly removes moisture from the air in a room.
答案
B
解析
根据原文,藻类通过反馈循环控制全球气候,这一过程其实和空调很相似,因此B正确。
