Question

Maximum photosynthesis takes place by
(a) Phytoplankton
(b) Zooplankton
(c) Marsh plants
(d) Woody plants

Answer 1

Hint: Photosynthesis takes place within the chloroplast that has chlorophyll, the speed of photosynthesis is affected by the colour of light that's absorbed the best by the chlorophyll pigment.

Complete answer:
Maximum photosynthesis takes place by Phytoplankton. Photosynthesis process is especially possessed by green plants. Algae and a few bacteria also possess photosynthesis processes. In this process the light energy is converted into energy. During this process there's use of sunlight, Carbon dioxide, water and minerals.
Green plant and algae contains chloroplast, which has a green pigment referred to as chlorophyll, liable for most light- harvesting by plants is chlorophyll, a green pigment. With the assistance of chlorophyll they possess photosynthesis.
In all the given options, phytoplankton possess more photosynthesis as they contain chlorophyll in large amounts. They're the microscopic algae found in oceans, seas and freshwater. Most phytoplankton are very little to be individually seen with the unaided eye. They are photosynthesizing microscopic biotic organisms that inhabit the upper sunlit layer of just about all oceans and bodies of water on Earth.
- A woody plant is a plant that makes wood as its constructional tissue. They are basically trees and shrubs. These are usually perennial plants whose stems and bigger roots are reinforced with wood produced from secondary xylem.
- Zooplankton are heterotrophs consuming phytoplankton hence they're primary or secondary consumers within aquatic food chains. Found in both marine and freshwater habitats. Found floating within the middle layer of water bodies
- Marshes are treeless wetlands with an abundance of herbaceous plants, including grasses, sedges, reeds and cattails. Marshes usually form within the quiet shallows of ponds, lakes and rivers, and along sheltered coastlines where mineral nutrients are available.
So, the correct answer is ‘Phytoplankton’.


Note: About 1% of the worldwide biomass is because of phytoplankton. They're agents for primary production, the creation of organic compounds from carbon dioxide dissolved within the water, a process that sustains the aquatic food cycle.
