Sunlight and water.
What else can I help you with?
Where would you find the things that phytoplankton need to survive?
Phytoplankton require sun and water to survive. They find these in a marine (ocean) envrironment.
Do phytoplankton need nutrients minerals to survive?
Yes, phytoplankton require nutrients such as nitrogen, phosphorus and micronutrients to survive and grow. These nutrients are essential for photosynthesis and other metabolic processes in phytoplankton. Without an adequate supply of nutrients, phytoplankton populations can decline, affecting marine ecosystems.
What is the relationship between sunlight and sea life?
the relationship is that seens phytoplankton need sunlight to survive and phytoplankton are the base of the food chain they connect to sun to phytoplankton to other sea life
What things do zooplankton need to do to survive?
Zooplankton need to feed on phytoplankton or other zooplankton, avoid predators, navigate currents to stay in suitable habitats, and reproduce to survive in their aquatic environment.
Do phytoplankton live deep in the ocean?
No because phytoplankton need sunlight to photosynthisize.
Why don't the phytoplankton and krill die?
Phytoplankton and krill have adaptations that help them survive in their environment. Phytoplankton can sense light and move towards the surface where they can photosynthesize. Krill have a high concentration of hemoglobin, which helps them utilize oxygen efficiently in cold waters. These adaptations contribute to their ability to survive and thrive in their respective habitats.
Do phytoplankton need Earth?
Absolutely.
Why are phytoplankton found near the surface of ocean?
Actually not all plankton does, there are many types of plankton. Phytoplankton are the type that must be near the surface to survive because they are similar to plants in that they must be in an environment in which photosynthesis can occur.
Do sharks eat phytoplankton?
Each species of shark has it's preference of food and what it needs to survive. The sharks that are known to eat phytoplankton include the whale shark and basking shark.
How can possible that animals like blue whale and the whale shark survive by feeding mainly in phytoplankton?
They eat a lot of phytoplankton. I don't see what possible confusion there could be here.
What organism lives near the surface of the aquatic biomes because it needs sunlight to survive?
phytoplankton :)) OH YEAH!
Does the box jellyfish live in the benthic or pelagic environment?
Phytoplankton live near the surface of the ocean because they need sunlight like all green plants. They also need water and nutrients to live. Phytoplankton use water and CO2 to grow, but phytoplankton still need other vitamins and minerals, like iron to survive. When the surface of the ocean is cold, the deeper parts of the ocean bring these nutrients to the surface and the plankton live. But, when the surface of the ocean is warm, as in El Niño, the ocean does not bring as many of these essential nutrients and the phytoplankton die. That causes a major problem because phytoplankton are at the base of the food chain. So, when the population of phytoplankton is reduced almost the entire food chain is effected.
