Answer:
Both algae and phytoplankton
Step-by-step explanation:
In the aquatic ecosystems, both algae and phytoplankton are producers and on land, plants are the primary producers.
The primary producers provides food for the whole ecosystem.
- During photosynthesis these producers are able to take up inorganic compounds and synthesize organic molecules.
- They use carbon dioxide and water in the presence of sunlight to produce glucose and oxygen gas
- The glucose is the food on which the ecosystem depends on
- Algae and phytoplankton produces food this way too.
