Phytoplankton are microscopic photosynthetic organisms that live in the surface waters of the ocean and are the start of most aquatic food chains. For a better understanding of their significance, here are three reasons why they are important.

1) They are the most important primary producers in the Earth's ocean.

2) They produce most of the oxygen in our atmosphere.

3) They help to regulate global carbon balance.

Hope this helps, have a BLESSED and wonderful day, as well as a safe one! Also, hope your having a good 2020 :-)

Plants, algae, and cyanobacteria are primary producers upon which entire ecosystems are dependent During photosynthesis, primary

Rashid [163]

Answer:

1. Plants utilize some of the incoming energy derived from photosynthesis for their own self-maintenance.

3. Plants and algae carry out both photosynthesis and cellular respiration.

5. Plants, algae, and cyanobacteria utilize light energy from the sun into their own biomass.

Explanation:

The gross primary productivity (GPP) of an ecosystem represents the rate at which the solar energy is captured during photosynthesis in a given period. Producers (plants, algae and cyanobacteria) perform cellular respiration to provide energy for their life processes. Cellular respiration consumes part of the total photosynthetic output. The energy available in tissues of producers after cellular respiration is called net primary productivity (NPP).

Therefore, NPP is the amount of biomass or the energy stored in the tissues of the producers for growth after cellular respiration for their normal daily activities and self-maintenance. So, NPP is always less than GPP.

Shkiper50 [21]

Explanation:

DNA sequencing is a biochemical process used for determining the order of the nucleotide bases, adenine, guanine, cytosine, and thymine, in any DNA molecule. By comparing the DNA sequence of two organisms, scientists can see if the organisms are related or not, as well as how closely they are related.

Snowcat [4.5K]

The correct answer for the question "A student looks at a slice of tissue on an unlabelled microscope slide. the student concludes that the tissue is not from an animal because the cells in the tissue have" is D. Cell walls. When we compare animal and plant cells, only plant cells have cell walls. Cell walls are formed because of cellulose.
