Answer:

Phytoplanktons are single celled organisms found in aquatic ecosystems. They make their own food by capturing sunlight for photosynthesis. Example of some phytoplanktons are diatoms, dinoflagellates and cynobacteria ( blue green algae). Phytoplanktons functions as the primary producers of the aquatic ecosystem. They attain the bottom level in the energy pyramid and store certain amount of suns energy and convert it into food. The energy derive from food is transferred to higher energy levels in the energy pyramid as phytoplanktons are eaten up by many aquatic animals. Therefore, the energy transferred from phytoplankton to higher energy levels gets decreased according to 10% law which says, energy decreases 10% at each higher trophic level. So, all the energy stored by the phytoplankton will not reach the top level of the pyramid.

What is the difference between arbitrary and natural levels? Why do these matter? (4) how do archaeologists recover the smallest
Vlada [557]

Arbitrary level refers to the fundamental vertical subdivision of an excavation square, implied only when easily identifiable natural strata are absent and when natural strata are more than ten centimeters thick.  

Natural strata refer to a vertical subdivision of an excavation square, which is reliant on the natural breaks in the sediments in terms of grain size, color, hardness, texture, or other features.  

It is important to know the difference between the arbitrary and natural levels as arbitrary levels could amalgamate artifacts from distinct natural levels, that is, of distinct geologic contexts.  

The archaeologists can recover the smallest ecofacts and artifacts with the assistance of flotation, screening, and bulk matrix processing
