No 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.
No, they eat phytoplankton and phytoplankton are producers.
Zooplankton can control the growth of phytoplankton by grazing on them, reducing their population. This grazing pressure can influence the size and composition of phytoplankton communities. By consuming phytoplankton, zooplankton can also regulate nutrient cycling and ecosystem productivity in aquatic environments.
Zooplankton eat phytoplankton, other zooplankton, and decomposing matter. "Zooplankton" refers to small aquatic animals. The "zoo-" prefix refers to animals, as in zoology, and zoo (which is short for "zoological garden".
Zooplankton can be herbivores, carnivores, or omnivores. Some zooplankton species primarily feed on phytoplankton, which are microscopic plants, making them herbivores. Other zooplankton species may feed on smaller animals or detritus, classifying them as carnivores or omnivores.
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 eat phytoplankton
phytoplankton
yes, zooplankton eats phytoplankton
No, they eat phytoplankton and phytoplankton are producers.
Phytoplankton and zooplankton
Yes, but mainly phytoplankton.
Yes, cod eats zooplankton and phytoplankton. As well as other small fishes and plants for a regular diet.

Plankton has a number of natural predators. Lobster larvae eat zooplankton and phytoplankton. Zooplankton and phytoplankton eat each other and many types of crustaceans eat both types of plankton.
Seahorses often eat zooplankton, phytoplankton, zooanxethlle, and microscopic crustations.
they eat small invertebrates,zooplankton and phytoplankton,depending on their size.
