Yes, phytoplankton require nutrients such as nitrogen, phosphorus and micronutrients to survive and grow. These nutrients are essential for photosynthesis and other metabolic processes in phytoplankton. Without an adequate supply of nutrients, phytoplankton populations can decline, affecting marine ecosystems.
What else can I help you with?
What nutrients and minerals do plants need and why?
Plants grow from what they need is the sun, soil, water, and the nutrients in the soil.
Why are rocks and minerals natural resources?
minerals are a resource because plants need minerals to survive and grow
What things do zooplankton need to do to survive?
Zooplankton need to feed on phytoplankton or other zooplankton, avoid predators, navigate currents to stay in suitable habitats, and reproduce to survive in their aquatic environment.
What are organisms that consume wastes to obtain the nutrients they need to survive?
decomposers
What are the two substance animals need to take up from the environment?
nutrients and minerals
What do phytoplankton need to survive?
Sunlight and water.
Can fish survive in distilled water?
No, fish cannot survive in distilled water because it lacks essential minerals and nutrients that fish need to survive.
Where would you find the things that phytoplankton need to survive?
Phytoplankton require sun and water to survive. They find these in a marine (ocean) envrironment.
Does the box jellyfish live in the benthic or pelagic environment?
Phytoplankton live near the surface of the ocean because they need sunlight like all green plants. They also need water and nutrients to live. Phytoplankton use water and CO2 to grow, but phytoplankton still need other vitamins and minerals, like iron to survive. When the surface of the ocean is cold, the deeper parts of the ocean bring these nutrients to the surface and the plankton live. But, when the surface of the ocean is warm, as in El Niño, the ocean does not bring as many of these essential nutrients and the phytoplankton die. That causes a major problem because phytoplankton are at the base of the food chain. So, when the population of phytoplankton is reduced almost the entire food chain is effected.
What is the relationship between sunlight and sea life?
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
What does phytoplankton feed on?
Answer:(In best form)why did they wright this muchSince Phytoplankton contains 'phyto' and phyto means plant-like, phytoplankton produce food and do not need to eat. Phytoplankton are single-celled plants (algae) that live in the surface layers of the ocean. They obtain energy from the sun, and use it to combine atmospheric CO2 and water to make carbohydrates, using the process of photosynthesis. They do require 'nutrients' or fertilizers just like other plants - nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium are the major nutrients, while iron, magnesium, calcium, silicon, boron, cobalt and many others are called minor nutrients. The nutrient availability in the ocean determines the distribution of phytoplankton. When there are many available nutrients the phytoplankton can bloom over a large area. Where there are few available nutrients, phytoplankton are scarce.Phytoplankton rely on minerals found in the water they live in, such as nitrate, silicic acid, phosphate, and iron. They absorb energy from sunlight through the process of photosynthesis. The energy from the sun allows the phytoplankton to convert the minerals in the water to a source of food they can use to live.

Do living things need nutrients to survive?
yes
