Organisms that float on water are called?
Many organisms float on water. They have no particular collective name. Examples include: Plankton, insects, algae, ducks, swans, seagulls, etc
Are photosynthetic organisms called consumers?
No, organisms that use photosynthesis are called producers because they capture sunlight energy to convert water and carbon dioxide into glucose sugars, oxygen, and water. The glucose sugars are used by the plant to grow and reproduce. Since these plant organisms are creating biomass using sunlight, they are essentially producing food for other organisms to consume (who are called consumers).
Where is the first living organism on earth in air or land water atmosphere?
The first living organisms on earth were a type of aquatic photosynthetic bacteria called cyanobacteria (blue-green algae). These organisms formed structures called stromatolites. These organisms did not become extinct and still exist in both salt and fresh water environments.
Struggle that occurs between organisms for food water and energy when resources are limited?
The struggle that occurs between organisms for food and water and energy when resources are limited is called competition. Competition can kill animals.

How do plankton differe from nekton?
