Abstract This paper is a review. According to the latest data issued by the UN, global warming causes danger to human health and well-being, as well as to animals and plants. As global warming is mainly caused by anthropogenic activities, it was considered that emission of the so-called greenhouse gases should be reduced and in some cases even prohibited. Plants are more easily exposed to biological damage than any other living organisms. The paper deals with the biochemical measures that will increase plants' biological potential, in particular, their photosynthetic and energy opportunities and, therefore, will contribute to drought resistance and will prevent increase of carbon dioxide concentrations in the atmosphere. Solar energy is environmentally friendly and its conversion to energy of chemical substances is carried out only by photosynthesis – effective mechanism characteristic of plants. However, microorganism photosynthesis occurs more frequently than higher plant photosynthesis. More than half of photosynthesis taking place on the earth surface occurs in single-celled organisms, especially algae, in particular, diatomic organisms.
