We have a problem weighing a single plankton. And it's not because we don't have accurate machines (scales) to do that. It's because there are so many kinds of plankton. Here's a most important fact: plankton is a term that refers to aquatic life that lives in certain zones of the open ocean or a lake. It's not a single living thing or a small group of things, but is comprised of many thousands of types of organisms. They range is size tremendously! Because plankton represents a wide group of organisms, we can't discern "the weight of a single plankton" as was asked. A single amphipod may weight a ten thousandth of a gram, but there are bacteria that are plankton - the bacterioplankton - and they are "electron microscope small" and weigh far less than a microgram.

What underwater animals eat plankton?
Plankton aren't a single species. The term encompasses an entire world of species that simply can't swim against the current (similar to pollen in the air). Plankton account for a large portion (if not the largest portion) of the base of the aquatic food chain. If you're an aquatic creature & you don't eat plankton, chances are you eat something that ate plankton.
How many inches will a zooplankton grow?
We cannot really tell the exact inches because zoo-plankton means from tiny microbes to jellyfish,although zoo-plankton are tiny, single-celled organisms.
