The most important group of producers in marine ecosystem is of__________?
Correct answer: A. Diatoms
- A. Diatoms
- B. Euglenoids
- C. Dinoflagellates
- D. Brown algae
Explanation
Diatoms are major marine phytoplankton, so they carry out a very large share of photosynthesis and form the base of marine food chains. Dinoflagellates are also important producers, but students may choose them because some species form conspicuous blooms; blooms do not make them the most important overall group.
