What are the main photosynthetic autotrophs in aquatic environments?

Answer 1

Photosynthetic organisms are called autotrophs. They are able to produce their own food from simple inorganic compounds such as carbon dioxide. Examples of autotrophs are green plants and algae.

Answer 2

The two most important groups are :

• Cyanobacteria (formerly known as blue-green algae) that provide up to 30% of the world's photosynthesis, and hence provide much of the world's oxygen supply.
• Plankton (plants and animals) are the basis of the ocean food chain. Phytoplankton (plants) provide the food source for the zooplankton (animals) and in the process remove a large percentage of the carbon from the atmosphere (known as a carbon sink)

Answer 3

Some of the main photosynthetic autotrophs in aquatic environments include algae, rooted plants, and floating plants. These autotrophs allow other organisms to survive.

Answer 4

anywhere and everywhere it could by in the ocean or on land

Answer 5

Lemna, Wolfea, Hydrilla and Ceratophyllum etc.
