Diatoms, Green and Golden Algae and Cyanobacteria
Golden algae live in lakes and oceans, while diatoms live in freshwater and saltwater.
What else can I help you with?
What are the two types of planktons?
Phytoplankton and zooplankton
What is the difference between phytoplankton and zooplankton?
phytoplankton are autotrophs and zooplankton are heterotrophs
What plant do zooplankton eat?
Plankton are microscopic organisms that live in the ocean. Zooplankton are tiny animals. Phytoplankton are tiny plants. Some examples of phytoplankton include many types of algae, or single-celled plants.
What is smaller than zooplankton?
Phytoplankton is smaller than zooplankton because it eats phytoplankton.
What are the three primary types of plankton?
What different categories can plankton be placed into?
Who eats a phytoplankton?
Zooplankton eat phytoplankton
What eats phytoplankton?
Some examples of what eat phytoplankton include sea stars, shrimp, snails, whales, small fish, zooplankton, and jellyfish.
Autotroph is to heterotroph as phytoplankton is to what?
Zooplankton. Phytoplankton are autotrophs, as they produce their own food through photosynthesis. Zooplankton are heterotrophs, relying on consuming other organisms, like phytoplankton, to obtain their energy.
What can zooplankton eat?
phytoplankton
Zooplankton get their energy from?
Zooplankton get their food from eating phytoplankton. The phytoplankton are the base of the food chain. Zooplankton are primary consumers or the second step in the food chain.
Are zooplankton producers?
No, they eat phytoplankton and phytoplankton are producers.
How zooplankton controls the growth of phytoplankton?
Zooplankton can control the growth of phytoplankton by grazing on them, reducing their population. This grazing pressure can influence the size and composition of phytoplankton communities. By consuming phytoplankton, zooplankton can also regulate nutrient cycling and ecosystem productivity in aquatic environments.
