But I need this because I have a Science Life test Review and I can't answer {what are photosynthetic micro-organisms?}.

Iodine is obtained from which microorganisms?
Iodine is not obtained from microorganisms; iodine is obtained from minerals.
How does carbon move from the atmosphere into the soil?
Photosynthetic plants, algae and microorganisms are responsible for removing carbon from the atmosphere and causing it to eventually end up as part of the soil. Photosynthetic plants, algae and microorganisms absorb carbon dioxide from the air and use it, water and specific wavelengths of light from the sun to chemically reduce the carbon dioxide into carbohydrates, hydrocarbons and proteins. Some of the seeds and fruits produced by plants, or the plant itself, are eaten by animals. Many plants, such as trees, drop leaves, fruit, seeds and/or branches. Algae dies at some point and falls to the bottom of the lake, pond, stream or river. Flowers eventually shrivel up and fall to the ground or they turn into fruit and seeds that end up on the ground. Grasses produce seeds that are eaten by insects, birds, and mammals or they fall to the ground. Dung dropped by the animals that eat the plant fruits or parts contains a lot of carbon. Worms, microorganisms and fungi slowly decompose and break down the fallen carbonaceous materials. Eventually, the dung and plant parts that fall to the ground, or the dead plant itself, become part of the soil.
When did photosynthetic organisms appear?
3.5-3.8 Billion years ago.
Why do photosynthetic organisms live on or near the surface of aquatic ecosystems?
Photosynthetic means that they synthesize their own food from the light of the sun. Therefore, they have to live near the water's surface so that the light can reach them for photosynthesis.
What kind of microorganisms are producers?
Plants
What does photosynthetic microorganisms mean?
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.
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.
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.
