Why do photosynthetic organisms live on or near the surface of aquatic ecosystems?

Photosynthetic organisms need sunlight for photosynthesis, which is their primary source of energy. By living on or near the surface of aquatic ecosystems, they can capture and utilize the sunlight effectively. This placement allows them to maximize their photosynthetic activity and productivity.


Are microorganisms infallible?

Microorganisms live and die just like any other organism. They are used in many biological process. Their ability to do their job can be limited by the environment. This means that they are not infallible because they sometimes fail to do their job.


When did photosynthetic organisms appear?

Photosynthetic organisms, such as cyanobacteria, are believed to have appeared around 3.5 billion years ago. These early organisms played a crucial role in shaping Earth's atmosphere by producing oxygen as a byproduct of photosynthesis.


What are some names of microorganisms?

viruses: for treatment of bacterial infection bacteria: for limiting the growth of other bacteria which might hurt our body. fungus,... all the microorganisms can be useful. you should just let them to be.


What part of soil where microorganisms are most active?

Microorganisms in soil are most active in the top layer called the topsoil. This layer is rich in organic matter, nutrients, and moisture, creating ideal conditions for microbial activity. Microorganisms play a crucial role in breaking down organic matter, cycling nutrients, and promoting plant growth.

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.


Do microorganisms help with photosynthesis?

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.


What is the scientific name of phytoplankton?

The scientific name of phytoplankton is phytoplankton. Phytoplankton refers to a diverse group of photosynthetic microorganisms that drift in aquatic environments.


Can microorganisms and prokaryotes that have chlorophyll do photosynthesis?

Yes, microorganisms and prokaryotes like cyanobacteria have chlorophyll and are capable of photosynthesis. They use chlorophyll to capture light energy and convert it into chemical energy in the form of glucose through the process of photosynthesis.


Amoeba photosynthetic or not?

not photosynthetic


What is the comparison of sizes and shapes of microorganisms observed in the light and dark hay infusion?

Microorganisms observed in the light hay infusion tend to be larger and more diverse in shape compared to those in the dark hay infusion. This is because light stimulates the growth of photosynthetic microorganisms that are generally larger in size and have different shapes than those found in the dark.


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.)


What are two organisms that have chloroplasts?

Plants and algae are two organisms that have chloroplasts. Chloroplasts are responsible for photosynthesis, the process by which plants and some microorganisms convert sunlight into energy.
