Yes, protozoa can be considered a type of plankton, specifically classified as "protozooplankton." These microscopic, single-celled organisms drift in aquatic environments and can be found in both freshwater and marine ecosystems. Protozooplankton play a crucial role in the food web, serving as a food source for larger organisms, such as small fish and zooplankton.
What else can I help you with?
Protozoa which are not capable of independent movement?
Non-motile protozoa rely on external forces for movement, such as water currents or host organisms. These protozoa typically lack structures like flagella or pseudopods that enable independent movement. Instead, they may adapt by attaching to a surface or living as parasites within a host.
Why is plankton a protist?
Yes, Protozoa require moist environment; most species live world wide in ponds, lakes, streams, and oceans, where they are critical members of the plankton- free living, drifting organism that form the basis of aquatic food chains.
How can you use protozoa in a sentence?
Protozoa are microscopic life forms. Here are some sentences.We studied the protozoa under the microscope.Many protozoa can cause disease if they get into your body.Most protozoa live in water.
Is plankton a small shrimp?
No, plankton are any microscopic sea-dwelling organisms. these can be plants OR animals. I just checked (April 20, 2011) on Wikipedia: plankton means 'drifter' or 'wanderer' and can be any of the plants or animals UP TO JELLYFISH size. So small shrimp known as 'krill', ARE part of what makes up plankton. Please see the link:
What is the scientific name for the phylum Protozoa?
The scientific name for the phylum Protozoa is Protozoa.
What is a synonym for plankton?

How do we get protozoa?
By making a plankton net then skim along surface of water
Is a clown fish a carnnivor?
Yes and no. They eat plankton and other tiny protozoa. And they also eat the oceans plants.

Where did the word plankton derive from and what does it mean?
Plankton is a mass of floating organisms in water comprising of microscopic algae and protozoa. Plankton is the primary food source of many animals. In origin it is a Greek word meaning wandering or drifting. In modern usage it was coined by the German physiologist Viktor Hensen (1835 - 1924_
What cells are generally unicellular?
Most unicellular organisms are bacteria such as prokaryotes. amoeba, algae, euglena, cyclops, malaria parasite, plankton, protozoa, sporozoa, flagellates, and hydra are some unicellular organisms.
What is the scientific name for the phylum Protozoa?
The scientific name for the phylum Protozoa is Protozoa.
Is amoeba algae or protozoa?
Protozoa.
What are drifting marine animals known as?
Drifting animals are called Zooplanktons. These include protozoa and tiny crustaceans found in Littoral (Near-shore) zone in aquatic ecosystem. These are source of food for other aquatic animals.
