Plants and algae are called what?
Plant plankton is named Phytoplankton. Animal plankton is called Zooplankton.
What type of consumer is a zooplankton?
Zooplankton are considered primary consumers because they feed on phytoplankton (which are primary producers). They play a key role in marine food webs by transferring energy from phytoplankton to higher trophic levels.
What organisms do zooplankton feed on in a freshwater ecosystem?
Zooplankton in a freshwater ecosystem feed on phytoplankton, bacteria, and detritus. They play a crucial role in transferring energy from primary producers up the food chain to higher trophic levels.
Are Round Gobys comcumers producers scavenger or decomposers?
the are consumers, they eat as they please. lol
What do zooplankton eat?
Zooplankton eat phytoplankton, other zooplankton, and decomposing matter. "Zooplankton" refers to small aquatic animals. The "zoo-" prefix refers to animals, as in zoology, and zoo (which is short for "zoological garden".
Is planton a producer?
Phytoplankton are producers. Zooplankton are not.
Is zooplankton a primary consumer?
Yes, zooplankton is a primary consumer. This is because they feed on the producers in their area and are fed on by the secondary consumers.
Are plankton are carnivore?
They are Herbivores. Zooplankton, however, are carnivours and detrivores.
Does zooplankton eat plankton?
Zooplankton are often lavae of larger animals, or unicelllar animals or tiny crustaceans and they do eat phytoplankton, marine producers.
Is the zoo plankton a producer?
No, zooplankton are not producers; they are consumers in the aquatic food web. They primarily feed on phytoplankton, which are the actual producers, converting sunlight into energy through photosynthesis. Zooplankton play a crucial role in transferring energy from primary producers to higher trophic levels in marine and freshwater ecosystems.
Plants and algae are called what?
Plant plankton is named Phytoplankton. Animal plankton is called Zooplankton.
What are primary consumers and producers in the Neritic zone?
Secondary and Tertiary Consumers that are in the Neritic Zone are: larger fish, fish-eating birds, seals, sharks, human fishermen Producers if the Neritic Zone are: phytoplankton or autotrophic producers, and zooplankton, or heterotrophic producers
Are zooplankton considered decomposers?
No, but your but is

Zooplankton in a freshwater ecosystem feed on phytoplankton, bacteria, and detritus. They play a crucial role in transferring energy from primary producers up the food chain to higher trophic levels.
Is Zooplankton a secondary consumer?
Only if they eat other zooplankton (other consumers). Most likely though, they are eating phytoplankton (producers), which makes them primary consumers.
What do zooplakton eat?
Zooplankton primarily feed on phytoplankton (microscopic algae), bacteria, and other organic matter found in the water column. Some zooplankton species are herbivores, while others are carnivores that prey on smaller zooplankton or detritus. Grazing on phytoplankton is an essential part of the marine food web, as zooplankton serve as a crucial link between primary producers and higher trophic levels.
