• They are also known as microalgae, and they contain chlorophyll.
• Phytoplankton are similar to terrestrial plants due to the presence of chlorophyll and they need sunlight to live and grow.

• They are also able to convert solar energy into chemical energy because they are photosynthetic and they store chemical energy in the form of sugars.
