Why are plants in the ocean mostly microscopic in size?

Plants in the ocean are mostly microscopic in size because being small allows them to maximize their surface area for nutrient absorption and light capture. This is important in the ocean where resources are limited. Additionally, being small helps these plants to better withstand ocean currents and turbulence.


Do plants eat microscopic organisms?

Plants do not eat microscopic organisms in the same way animals do, as they primarily obtain nutrients through photosynthesis and absorption from the soil. However, some plants, like carnivorous species (e.g., Venus flytrap, pitcher plants), can trap and digest small organisms, including insects and microorganisms, to supplement their nutrient intake, particularly in nutrient-poor environments. This process helps them acquire essential nutrients like nitrogen. Overall, while most plants do not "eat" microscopic organisms, certain exceptions exist where they do utilize them for nourishment.


Which group of pathogens are one-celled microscopic organisms?

The group of pathogens that are one-celled microscopic organisms are bacteria. They are single-celled microorganisms that can cause infections and diseases in humans, animals, and plants.


Do non vascular plants have roots with microscopic hairs?

Non-vascular plants, such as mosses and liverworts, do not have true roots; instead, they have structures called rhizoids that anchor them to the substrate. These rhizoids are generally simple and do not have the microscopic hairs found in the roots of vascular plants. Instead, they primarily serve to provide stability rather than to absorb water and nutrients, as non-vascular plants typically absorb them directly through their surfaces.
