Like any other green plant, they get their energy from sunlight.
The tiny organisms that make up plankton include animals (zooplankton) that eat smaller organisms and plant material, which gives them energy.
What else can I help you with?
Do plankton eat ocean plants?
No, plankton do not eat ocean plants. Plankton eat phytoplankton, and phytoplankton use photosynthesis to retrieve energy from the sun.
Why do plants cannot survive without sun's energy?
Plants use the suns energy to make energy in a process called photosynthesis. The suns energy is used to produce glucose which provides the energy that the plants need to survive through processes such as respiration and expiration.
Plants and algae are called what?
Plant plankton is named Phytoplankton. Animal plankton is called Zooplankton.
Tiny aquatic plants are called?
Microscopic plants. Such plants are like plankton.
What is a cold water plankton called?
I assume that any kind of plankton is just plankton, no matter were it lives. But the kinds plankton that are animals are called zooplankton. The kinds that are plants are called phytoplankton. I hope that was helpful!
What are small sea creatures and plants called?
Plankton.
Why is energy is important to plants?
Energy is important to plants because it is needed for photosynthesis, the process by which plants convert sunlight into energy to grow and survive. Without energy, plants would not be able to produce food or carry out essential biological functions. Energy also helps regulate various metabolic processes in plants.
Do plankton eat plants?
no plankton do not eat plants
Where do plants get their energy to survive?
The sun
Are Plankton a combination of plants and animals?
Plankton are a large group of various organisms that drift in waters and are eaten by larger organisms. They consists of very small animals, algae, bacteria and protists. As a group they contain both animals and plants (algae).
What do mussles eat?
They eat microscopic plants and animals called plankton.
What are secondary consumers in an ocean?
Things that eat plankton and other single celled organisms that eat plants to survive
