Phytoplankton receive energy through photosynthesis. Photosynthesis is the process of making glucose using sunlight. Carbon dioxide, sunlight, and water combine, producing glucose sugars that the being can use for energy.
Zooplankton however feed off phytoplankton and decaying matter. They are known as detrivores.
Phytoplankton use photosynthesis to make food; zooplankton get energy from other phytoplankton and decay matter.
What else can I help you with?
What do plankton produce?
Energy, oxygen.
What food does a plankton eat?
well plankton eats the energy from the sun and that helps it provide oxygen and this is the process of photosynthesis. so really plankton only eats the suns heat and energy.
What allow plankton to grow?
Energy from the sun
How does the Atlantic puffin get energy from the sun?
puffins eat fish fish eat zoo plankton zoo plankton eat phytoplankton phytoplankton fix nutrients using energy from the sun. puffins eat fish fish eat zoo plankton zoo plankton eat phytoplankton phytoplankton fix nutrients using energy from the sun. puffins eat fish fish eat zoo plankton zoo plankton eat phytoplankton phytoplankton fix nutrients using energy from the sun.
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.
What directly allows plankton to grow?
Energy from the sun
Why are plant plankton called producers?
Plant plankton are called producers because the get energy from the sun and make their own food
Is plankton a herbivore?
Plankton can include both herbivores and carnivores. Phytoplankton are plant-like plankton that primarily obtain energy through photosynthesis and are considered herbivores. However, zooplankton are animal-like plankton that feed on phytoplankton and are considered carnivores.
What is directly responsible for providing energy to plankton in the ocean?
sun
What most directly allows plankton grow?
Energy from the sun.APEX
Do zoo plankton eat phyto plankton?
YES.... Plankton always eat krill.... This means krill is the lowest living thing in the food chain.. peace out hustlers
How do the tiny plants called plankton get energy they need to survive?
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.
