To keep from sinking and to capture more light
Are photosynthetic autotrophs chlorophyllous?
Not necessarily. Phytoplanktons are photoautotrophs but they do not contain chlorophyll
Are phytoplanktons autotrophs?
Well phyto means light, so the obvious answer is yes.
Do phytoplanktons decompose?
Yes, phytoplankton are able to decompose. They cannot do it alone, as they need bacteria to do it for them.
Do planktons in the ocean perform photosynthesis?
