photosynthetic microorganisms

Photosynthetic microorganisms are tiny life forms, such as algae and bacteria, that can capture sunlight to make their own food through a process called photosynthesis, similar to plants. They use sunlight, carbon dioxide, and water to produce energy and oxygen. Despite their small size, they play a vital role in supporting life on Earth by producing oxygen and forming the base of many aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems. These microorganisms are found in oceans, lakes, and soil, and contribute significantly to the planet’s health and climate regulation.
