The primary producers in the marine ecosystem are

  • A.Eubacteria and Algae
  • B.Cyanobacteria and Algae
  • C.Algae and Protozoans
  • D.All of the above

Answer: B

The primary producers of the marine ecosystem are cyanobacteria and algae. Phytoplankton, the microscopic algae such as diatoms and dinoflagellates together with photosynthetic cyanobacteria such as Prochlorococcus and Synechococcus, fix most of the carbon in the sea. Eubacteria in general are mostly decomposers or consumers, and protozoans are heterotrophs that feed on other organisms, so options naming them are wrong, and 'all of the above' is wrong for the same reason.
