Answer: D. Phytoplankton eat zooplankton

Explanation:

        Phytoplankton have chlorophyll to capture sunlight. Like plants on land, they use photosynthesis to turn it into chemical energy. They consume carbon dioxide and release oxygen, similar to land plants as well.

        However, they do not eat zooplankton. It is the other way around. Zooplankton are consumers that feed on phytoplankton. Option D is the false statement, meaning that Option D is our answer.

The false statement is D) Phytoplankton eat zooplankton.

Phytoplankton are primary producers that make food through the process of photosynthesis, utilizing sunlight as their energy source. They reside in the photic zone of the oceans and primarily serve as food for zooplankton, which are the primary consumers in marine food webs. Zooplankton, in turn, are consumed by small fish and other larger organisms.
