Plankton that perform photosynthesis utilize chlorophyll pigments to capture sunlight and convert it into chemical energy. These organisms use this energy to convert carbon dioxide and water into glucose through the process of photosynthesis. This enables plankton to produce their own food and serve as the base of the marine food chain.
What else can I help you with?
Are animal plankton omnivores and are plant plankton omnivores?
Animal plankton are typically omnivores, feeding on a variety of other organisms such as smaller zooplankton, fish larvae, and even plant plankton. Plant plankton, also known as phytoplankton, are photosynthetic organisms that primarily obtain energy from sunlight and nutrients from the water, so they are not considered omnivores.
What are producers of the ocean?
Producers in the ocean include phytoplankton, seaweeds, and sea grasses. These organisms use sunlight to perform photosynthesis and produce oxygen, making them the base of the marine food chain.
What group of planktons should contain chloroplast in their cell?
Phytoplankton are the group of plankton that contain chloroplast in their cells. These photosynthetic organisms use chloroplasts to convert sunlight into energy through the process of photosynthesis.
What are specialized photosynthetic organelles?
Photosynthetic organelles are chloroplasts.
What are non-photosynthetic?
Any bacteria, there are no photosynthetic bacteria.
When populations of photosynthetic plankton explode the event is referred to as an?
Plankton bloom.
What organisms begin all photosynthetic food chains?
Plankton and phytoplankton.
Are all plankton photosynthetic?
Plankton is a character from the show Spongebob Squarepants. He is a maniacal little plankton that plots to steal the Crabby Patty Recipe from the Krusty Krab.
Is dinoflagellantes photosynthetic?
Most dinoflagellates are marine plankton though they are also abundant in fresh water habitats. These organisms are known as photosynthetic.
Which 2 nutrients limit the growth of photosynthetic plankton in marine environments?
nitrogen and phospherous
Which living organisms are photosynthetic?
there are some kinds of photosynthetic living organisms such as Plankton, certain sea slugs such as the Elysia Chlorotica, and Pea Aphids. --RKH
Where do Noctiluca live and what does it eat?
The noctiluca lives in the ocean, in subtropical and tropical waters. Its mostly restricted to coastal water. Its diet primarily consists of plankton.
What does eat phytoplankton?
phytoplankton eats all other kinds of plankton
Is it true that sharks help the filtration of carbon-dioxide in the oceans by the way of the food chain IE Sharks eat an organism and that being feeds on the organisms that filter carbon-dioxide?
nop RT: Actually, I found out that it IS true. I believe it is something along the lines of there being photosynthetic plankton present in the oceans. Similar to trees, these plankton filter carbon-dioxide out of the oceans with the help of sunlight. Fish, other plankton and other organisms eat these plankton. Sharks help control the fish population, allowing the photosynthetic plankton to sustain a healthy population, or something to that affect. I am still researching...

Is Dino-flagellates heterotroph and photosynthetic?
Both Dino-flagellates cover a class of microbes that can be either photosynthetic or heterotrophic. About half are considered photosynthetic plankton (mostly in marine waters but some are also found in fresh water), they are eukaryotic algae (protozoa). Predator dino-flagellates do not have pigments like photosynthetic ones. There are also a few parasitic forms.
Is a whale classified as a fish or mammal?
Plankton are an aquatic organism. There are three classifications of plankton and it is based upon their phylogeny. There are the phytoplankton which are photosynthetic organisms and microscopic algae; there are zooplankton which are invertebrate animals; and there are ichthyoplankton which consist of the larval fish components.
