Dinoflagellates primarily obtain nutrients through photosynthesis, using chloroplasts derived from engulfed algae, but they can also be heterotrophic. They capture prey, such as small plankton, using specialized feeding structures called peduncles that allow them to engulf or absorb food. Additionally, some dinoflagellates can absorb dissolved organic matter directly from their environment. This versatility in feeding strategies enables them to thrive in diverse aquatic ecosystems.
