What is the energy trapping molecule in the chloroplast?
They are situated within the Chloroplasts of plant Cells, as well as in the multitude of other Photosynthetic organisms - such as diatoms, phytoplankton, and blue-green algae.
What are the two types of free floating organisms?
Zooplankton and Phytoplankton. Zooplankton feed on phytoplankton, and Phytoplankton are photosynthetic.
Are zooplankton producers?
No, they eat phytoplankton and phytoplankton are producers.
What are some examples of chlorophyll?
Some examples of chlorophyll are chlorophyll a, chlorophyll b, chlorophyll c1, and chlorophyll c2. These are the most common types of chlorophyll found in plants and algae. Chlorophyll gives plants their green color and is essential for photosynthesis.
Is phytoplankton a non living thing?
No. The phytoplankton are living and are part of kingdom protista.
What has the author John E O'Reilly written?
John E. O'Reilly has written: 'Seasonal, horizontal, and vertical distribution of phytoplankton chlorophyll a in the northeast U.S. continental shelf ecosystem' -- subject(s): Measurement, Marine ecology, Marine phytoplankton, Phytoplankton populations, Chlorophyll
Do phytoplankton have a shell?
Phytoplankton are photoautotrophic microorganisms. Many of them use chlorophyll but some of them are protistan eukaryotes, eubacterial prokaryotes or archaebacterial prokaryotes. None of them have a shell, however.
What color are phytoplankton?
Phytoplankton, like most plankton, is so small that it can't be seen by the naked eye. When in large groups however the group may give off a green color because of the chlorophyll present.
What has the author John T Salinas written?
John T. Salinas has written: 'A critical comparison of methods for the determination of phytoplankton chlorophyll'
Are phytoplankton plants or animals?
Phytoplankton are neither plants nor animals. Phytoplankton are similar to plants, in that they contain chlorophyll and photosynthesize. However, phytoplankton are not in the plant kingdom. Rather, the term phytoplankton is used to describe any photosynthetic organism that drifts in the ocean (that is, they do not swim fast enough to control where they are in the ocean and are at the whim of the currents). Included in the phytoplankton are photosynthetic bacteria ("cyanobacteria") and photosynthetic single-celled eukaryotes. Photosynthetic organisms that are not plants can be referred to collectively as "algae".
What is the energy trapping molecule in the chloroplast?
They are situated within the Chloroplasts of plant Cells, as well as in the multitude of other Photosynthetic organisms - such as diatoms, phytoplankton, and blue-green algae.
What are the two types of planktons?
Phytoplankton and zooplankton
Why are microorganisms here?
phytoplankton. phytoplankton.
Does phytoplankton eat phytoplankton?
whales
What is the scientific name of phytoplankton?
The scientific name of phytoplankton is phytoplankton. Phytoplankton refers to a diverse group of photosynthetic microorganisms that drift in aquatic environments.
Who eats a phytoplankton?
Zooplankton eat phytoplankton
What will eat phytoplankton?
Copepods will eat phytoplankton.
