If the number of phytoplankton decrease the food chain would decrease in the ocean.
The number of first level consumers would decrease causing the second level to also decrease and so on up the food chain.
If they went extinct the whole food chain would be out of balance.
phytoplankton
the fox will decrease its numbers
they grow... THE FOOD CHAIN GOES DOWN FAST though
Yes.
Zooplankton get their food from eating phytoplankton. The phytoplankton are the base of the food chain. Zooplankton are primary consumers or the second step in the food chain.
decrease the number of hawks
The first link in the ocean food chain is phytoplankton. These microscopic organisms convert sunlight into energy through photosynthesis and serve as the primary producers of the ocean ecosystem. Phytoplankton are then consumed by zooplankton, which are in turn eaten by small fish, and the food chain continues from there.
Yes,its the bottom of the food chain;producer
Phytoplankton are eaten by whales and small fish, so...under small fish, I believe. :)
the relationship is that seens phytoplankton need sunlight to survive and phytoplankton are the base of the food chain they connect to sun to phytoplankton to other sea life
