No phytoplankton would have to be plants and dinoflagellates are animals and if regarded as part of the plankton would need to be called zoo-plankton.

What protists live in the ocean?
Kelp, seaweed, phytoplankton, dinoflagellates, diatoms, sea lettuce, algae, etc.
What is the genus and species of phytoplankton?
Phytoplankton is a diverse group of microorganisms, so it includes many different genera and species. Some common genera of phytoplankton include diatoms (Bacillariophyta), dinoflagellates (Dinophyta), and cyanobacteria (Cyanophyta/ Cyanobacteria). Each of these groups contains numerous species.
How can some dinoflagellates harm humans?
Dinoflagellates are single-celled organisms of the kingdom Protista, many of which are photosynthetic and one of the major producers of phytoplankton. Without them, 7% of the world's people would lack food, and some countries would fail to exist.
How do dinoflagellates live?
Dinoflagellates live in the top 200 feet of the ocean.
What color are dinoflagellates?
dinoflagellates give off light which is known as luminscent
What is marine plankton?
Plankton is a very general term, and is used to describe the tiny, floating organisms in the water. Phytoplankton are plants, and zooplankton are animals. Phytoplankton is usually algae, although zooplankton has many different forms. Zooplankton includes any free-floating animal larvae, some diatoms, radiolarians, some dinoflagellates, foraminifera, amphipods, krill, copepods, and salps.
What kind of producers live in the ocean?
seaweed,phytoplankton, diatoms,Crill, algea, Seagrass , dinoflagellates (a single-celled organism with two flagella, occurring in large numbers in marine plankton and also found in fresh water), coccolithophores (a single-celled marine flagellate that secretes a calcareous shell, forming an important constituent of the phytoplankton. )
How much oxygen does the ocean give us?
50 to 85 percent. In modern times - up to 1975 at least - 70% of the Earth's Oxygen {O2} is produced exclusively by phytoplankton. The oxygen is produced by phytoplankton in the top layers of the Ocean, especially by desmids, diatoms and dinoflagellates---tiny single Celled organisms with shells made of 'glass'.
What do dinoflagellates have?
flagella
Which protist causes red tide?
dinoflagellates tint the sea water to a reddish color.
Are dinoflagellates photosynthetic or heterotrophic?
they can do both photosynthetic and heterotrophic
Is dinoflagellates consumer?
Yes?
