the phytoplanktons niche is to feed the other animals in the ocean. if the phytoplankton didnt exist the plankton, bivavles and barnacles would die. then the ghost crabs octopuses, and mulberry whelks would die.
An organism's role or job in its environment is known as its ecological niche. This includes factors such as what it eats, where it lives, how it reproduces, and its interactions with other organisms in the ecosystem.
Yes, an organism's realized niche can be larger than its fundamental niche due to factors such as competition, predation, and environmental changes. The realized niche is the actual space an organism occupies and the resources it utilizes in the presence of other species, while the fundamental niche represents the full range of conditions where a species can survive and reproduce.
The total niche an organism is potentially able to occupy within an ecosystem is its fundamental niche. This includes the full range of conditions and resources where the organism can survive and reproduce. In reality, competition and other factors may limit the actual niche that an organism occupies, known as its realized niche.
spatial or habitat niche, trophic niche, and hyper volume or multidimensional niche.
A niche is the rank or position of a species in a community.A niche is functional position of an organism eg. producer , herbivore or carnivore etc.the way in which an organism lives in its environment is called niche
Phytoplanktons
To keep from sinking and to capture more light
Not necessarily. Phytoplanktons are photoautotrophs but they do not contain chlorophyll
Well phyto means light, so the obvious answer is yes.
Yes, phytoplankton are able to decompose. They cannot do it alone, as they need bacteria to do it for them.
Yes.Only phytoplanktons are photosynthetic. Zooplanktons are animal like
Zooplankton are heterotrophic, meaning they are not able to make their own food, therefore they are predators.
because it is the photosynthesis method in water and it is called phytoplanktons
niche
is a niche
Yes. Of course. Unicellular plants are found floating on oceans. They are called phytoplanktons.
Planktons don't eat animals. Phytoplanktons undergo photosynthesis, but zooplanton eat other plankton
