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.
