Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Photosynthetic protists serve as producers of nutrition for other organisms.

Protists like zooxanthellae have a symbiotic relationship with coral reefs; the protists act as a food source for coral and the coral provides shelter and compounds for photosynthesis for the protists.
