Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Phytoplankton are the main producers in a marine environment. They are microscopic plants that drift in the ocean currents and use photosynthesis to produce organic matter from inorganic substances like carbon dioxide and nutrients. This organic matter then provides food and energy for the other organisms in the food chain. Zooplankton are consumers that feed on phytoplankton, and grass is not found in marine environments. Therefore, the correct answer is C) phytoplankton.
