Because zooplankton eat phyroplankton, thus controlling the population of phytoplankton.
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.
No, they eat phytoplankton and phytoplankton are producers.
zooplankton prey on 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.
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.
Phytoplankton and zooplankton
phytoplankton are autotrophs and zooplankton are heterotrophs
Phytoplankton is smaller than zooplankton because it eats phytoplankton.
What different categories can plankton be placed into?
Zooplankton eat phytoplankton
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 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.
phytoplankton
No, they eat phytoplankton and phytoplankton are producers.
yes, zooplankton eats phytoplankton
By eating phytoplankton.
Yes, cod eats zooplankton and phytoplankton. As well as other small fishes and plants for a regular diet.
