Producers In The Marine

From left to right: seagrass with other ocean dwellers, seaweed, and a fish eating algae.

       There are many types of producers in the marine, but this is only focusing on 5 producers. The first producer is phytoplankton. They are microscopic organisms that float in water. They also produce oxygen and food. Phytoplankton are the most common marine producer. Diatoms are related to phytoplankton. They are the most common phytoplankton. Diatoms are one celled producers that have a covering of glass called frustule. They are important oxygen producers. Algae is also pretty common in the marine. It is a large and diverse group of simple, typically autotrophic organisms. They range from unicellular to multicellular forms. They are photosynthetic like plants. It can be found in fossils 3 billion years back. Have you ever heard of seaweed? Pretty common, huh? But did you know that seaweed is actually a type of algae? Seaweed may be red, green, or brown algae. Seaweed also resembles non-marine plants. It is somewhat leaf like and flattened. Ever heard of seagrasses? Much rarer. You'd probably be surprised that seagrasses are flowering plants that grow in the marine. But it's true. Seagrasses are long and narrow leaves. They grow in large "meadows". Seagrasses thrive in shallow areas in sand or mud. There is an estimate of about 60 species of seagrasses worldwide. Well, that's all folks. I hope you learned something new because you're supposed to learn something every day. I think.

Some sort of shark.
