Why do phytoplanktons have projections?

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?

Yes.Only phytoplanktons are photosynthetic. Zooplanktons are animal like


What is phytoplanktons predator?

Zooplankton are heterotrophic, meaning they are not able to make their own food, therefore they are predators.


Why is it importance to study the plankton communities in aquatic ecosystem?

because it is the photosynthesis method in water and it is called phytoplanktons

Yes. Of course. Unicellular plants are found floating on oceans. They are called phytoplanktons.


What animals do plankton eat?

Planktons don't eat animals. Phytoplanktons undergo photosynthesis, but zooplanton eat other plankton


What fish does salmon fish eats?

I don't know what fish they eat but they eat zooplanktons and phytoplanktons, oh! for fish they eat minnows


What is a phytoplanktons importance to animals on land and in the ocean?

Phytoplankton are at one of the lowest levels of the food chain meaning their populations affect everything above them. Most of the energy in the oceans start off from them because they the main organisms generating energy from photosynthesis. A shark, which is near the top of the food chain in ocean life, eats other fish and most of the biomass of the fish comes from phytoplanktons in one way or another. Directly phytoplanktons affect land animals based off of the animals that prey on oceanic organisms. On another side though phytoplanktons produce a large percentage of the worlds oxygen from photosynthesis and recycles co2. Without them are atmosphere would be very different and animals could not have evolved to such large sizes and would have had smaller populations if they were still capable of even evolving at all.
