What is phytoplanktons predator?

Zooplankton are heterotrophic, meaning they are not able to make their own food, therefore they are predators.


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.


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.


How are zooplankton like some land animals?

Mostly due to the fact that they have to find their own food.


What does zooplankton mean?

Zooplankton is an animal. Its included in the food chain.


What planton eat?

Phytoplankton are primary producers that make their own food through photosynthesis using sunlight and nutrients in the water. Zooplankton, on the other hand, are small animals that feed on phytoplankton and other organic matter in the water. Together, phytoplankton and zooplankton form the base of the marine food chain.


Is a phytoplankton a primary consumer?

Phytoplankton get eaten by Zooplankton and Zooplankton get eaten by Herring but Phyotplankton make their own energy form sunlight so it's a Producer.


Are the single-cell algae that grow in lakes and ponds zooplankton?

No, single-cell algae that grow in lakes and ponds are not zooplankton. Zooplankton are small aquatic organisms that feed on algae and other organic matter, while single-cell algae (phytoplankton) are autotrophic and produce their own food through photosynthesis.


How many cells are in plankton?

The number of plankton is uncountable, even if you were to try to determine specie count rather than population. Plankton include many creatures - bacteria, algae, various protozoa, diatoms, etc - that drift in the ocean and are food for many marine animals. There are phytoplankton that make their own food via photosynthesis. Zooplankton eat phytoplankton or smaller zooplankton. Bigger animals eat the zooplankton, and so on.


Does plankton make it own food?

No, plankton do not make their own food through photosynthesis like plants do. Plankton are either phytoplankton, which are plant-like and produce their own food through photosynthesis, or zooplankton, which are animal-like and must consume other organisms for food.


The zooplankton in this food chain are?

Primary consumers


Does zooplankton eat phytoplankton?

AnswerNo its the other way around, Plankton is made of Phytoplankton which are plants. Plants make their own food using sunlight and the process of photosynthesis. You then get small creatures and larvae of other animals that feed on the phytoplankton called zooplankton. Jellyfish are also part of the plankton and they eat fish.
