Photosynthetic microorganisms are organisms that are microscopic or cannot be seen with an eye and they can preform photosynthesis. Photosynthesis is when an organism uses; water, carbon dioxide, light energy to make food for itself.

Can microorganisms and prokaryotes that have chlorophyll do photosynthesis?
a few do They have photosynthetic filaments. Cynobacteria is a gruop of photosynthetic bacteria
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.
What are the uses of microorganisims?
Microorganisms are used in food such as cheese and yogurt.
Is Nostoc photosynthetic?
Nostoc is a BGA (cyanobacteria) and is photosynthetic.
What is the study of microorganisms?
The study of Microorganisms is called microbiology.
Is algae made up of cells?
Photosynthetic microorganisms that live in water.
Do microorganisms help with photosynthesis?
Some micro organisms are photosynthetic. Some bacteria and protists belong to that
What is the ultimate source for energy for food chains and webs?
microorganisms
What are the major groups of photosynthetic bacteria?
The four groups of photosynthetic bacteria are brownish nonsulfur, green sulfur, purple sulfur, and purple nonsulfur bacteria. Bacteria constitute a significant domain of what are referred to as prokaryotic microorganisms.
What is the scientific name of phytoplankton?
The scientific name of phytoplankton is phytoplankton. Phytoplankton refers to a diverse group of photosynthetic microorganisms that drift in aquatic environments.
Which organism can convert light energy into chemical energy?
Plants photosynthesize. There are some non-plant species who've photosynthetic organelles within their cells, likely to have originated by the endocytosis of photosynthetic microorganisms (similar to the origin of mitochondria).Autotrophs
Are the population of small photosynthetic organism found near the surface of the ocean?
Yes, the photosynthetic organisms are regulated near the surface according to surchams theory, and the microorganisms innterrelated neighbours are found near the focus of the ocean on the oceanic boundary.
Can microorganisms and prokaryotes that have chlorophyll do photosynthesis?
a few do They have photosynthetic filaments. Cynobacteria is a gruop of photosynthetic bacteria
Why do microorganisms appear green?
It has to do with how the organism is dyed, and the lighting. Without the dye, the organism would blend in and wouldn't stand out. ------------------------------- Not all microorganisms in their natural habitats are green. The ones that are green, such as cyanobacteria, green algar, etc. are green because they conduct photosynthesis with a mechanism similar to plants. (Note for previous answerer: microorganisms are very often stained in a laboratory setting to make them more visible, however green stains are rare because they would make stained organisms look confusingly similar to photosynthetic microorganisms. There are, however, fluorescent stains that fluoresce green when the stained organism is exposed to UV light, this would not be confusing since photosynthetic organisms no longer look green under UV light.)
Are the population of small photosynthetic organisms found near the surface of the ocean?
Yes, the photosynthetic organisms are regulated near the surface according to surchams theory, and the microorganisms innterrelated neighbours are found near the focus of the ocean on the oceanic boundary.
Amoeba photosynthetic or not?
not photosynthetic
Are euglenoids photosynthetic?
No, they aren't photosynthetic.
