Why are microorganisms important in ocean food chains?
Microorganisms such as algae are photosynthetic and convert energy from the sunlight into usable energy for organisms. Since organisms are inefficient at converting energy when consuming organisms, there needs to be a constant inflow of energy to sustain higher levels of the food chain. The loss of energy also explains why there are lesser numbers of organisms higher up on the food chain.
