Plankton can be plant or animal life - but the plant type of plankton is called phytoplankton, and some of those plants are in fact, green in color.
See the 'Diatom' related link listed below for pictures of the green colored type of phytoplankton.
Zooplankton can be classified as omnivores, herbivores, or carnivores, depending on their specific species and diet. Many zooplankton, such as copepods and krill, feed on a mix of phytoplankton (plant-like organisms) and smaller zooplankton or organic matter, making them omnivorous. However, not all zooplankton are omnivores; some may exclusively consume plant matter or other animals. Therefore, whether a zooplankton is an omnivore depends on its dietary habits.
Zooplankton can be herbivores, omnivores, or carnivores. Some feed on phytoplankton and other plant matter (herbivores), some feed on a mix of plant and animal matter (omnivores), and others primarily consume other zooplankton or small animals (carnivores).
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.
Plant plankton is named Phytoplankton. Animal plankton is called Zooplankton.
Yes, some plankton are carnivorous and feed on other smaller plankton species. These plankton are often referred to as zooplankton and play an important role in marine food webs by consuming phytoplankton and smaller zooplankton.
The prefix "zoo" denotes the fact that zooplankton are animals.
They are Herbivores. Zooplankton, however, are carnivours and detrivores.

Planktons are not animals they are plants! Save for zooplankton.
plankton is of 2 types: animal(zooplankton) and plant (phytoplankton)
No. The prefix "phyto" means plant. Small shrimplike animals are zooplankton.
Plant
Plant plankton is named Phytoplankton. Animal plankton is called Zooplankton.
Phytoplankton and zooplankton
no zooplankton dont eat seaweed, and krill eats zooplankton, some whales eat zooplankton, there are also others i cant think of
A qualified "Yes!" Phytoplankton are plant-based Plankton and Zooplankton are tiny animals.
