Solution
Autotrophs:
- With the aid of marine water's magnesium porphyrin, some selected chemoautotrophs would have finally produced pigments similar to chlorophyll.
- These pigments are bacteriochlorophylls, which to produce real chlorophyll, would have essentially undergone a few alterations.
- Primitive autotrophs would have developed as a result of the same.
- With time, these rudimentary autotrophs improved their ability to produce food through photosynthesis and started releasing free molecular oxygen into the environment.
- The oxygen revolution refers to this transformative development in early earth history.
