Is plankton a protists?
Yes, plankton can include protists. Protists are a group of diverse eukaryotic organisms that do not fit into the plant, animal, or fungi kingdoms, and many species of plankton fall under this category.
How are algae and plankton different?
Algae are eukaryotic organisms that can be grouped into various categories, including green, brown, and red algae. Plankton, on the other hand, are a diverse group of organisms that include both plants and animals, with varying sizes and types such as phytoplankton (algae), zooplankton, and bacterioplankton. While all algae are considered plankton, not all plankton are algae.
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 weight of a single plankton?
We have a problem weighing a single plankton. And it's not because we don't have accurate machines (scales) to do that. It's because there are so many kinds of plankton. Here's a most important fact: plankton is a term that refers to aquatic life that lives in certain zones of the open ocean or a lake. It's not a single living thing or a small group of things, but is comprised of many thousands of types of organisms. They range is size tremendously! Because plankton represents a wide group of organisms, we can't discern "the weight of a single plankton" as was asked. A single amphipod may weight a ten thousandth of a gram, but there are bacteria that are plankton - the bacterioplankton - and they are "electron microscope small" and weigh far less than a microgram.
What group of planktons should contain chloroplast in their cell?
Phytoplankton are the group of plankton that contain chloroplast in their cells. These photosynthetic organisms use chloroplasts to convert sunlight into energy through the process of photosynthesis.
Which group is the sea horse classified in plankton nekton benthos?
nekton
Is the alligator belongs to the group of nekton benthos or plankton?
I think it is a Nekton because if it was Benthos it would live on the ocean floor, and Plankton are plants or plant like animals. Alligators swim freely and can't breath underwater.
Is a great white a plankton?
Benthos is an aggrgation of organisms living on or at the bottom of a body of water: Plankton is a group of drifting organisms, and Nektons are free-swimmers unaffected by tides and currents. Therefore a shark is a Nekton.
Why is a jellyfish like jelly?
There are over 200 species of Scyphozoa, about 50 species of Staurozoa, about 20 species of Cubozoa, and in Hydrozoa there are about 1000-1500 species that produce medusae (and many more hydrozoa species that do not).
Are dolphins nekton?
Yes, dolphins are considered nekton. Nekton are organisms that are capable of swimming actively in the water column, regardless of the direction of water flow. Dolphins are highly efficient swimmers and can actively move through the water to hunt and navigate.
Which group of protists are decomposers?
plankton
Is a plankton a insect?
Yes and no. Isopoda are a big group of different animal life, some of which are plankton. Some others include regular cockroaches.
What group of animals mollusk is in?
Probably in the animal plankton.
A group made up of drifting plants and animals?
A group made up of drifting plants and animals are called plankton. Plankton is a source of food for many animals such as whales.
What kind of species are plankton in?
Plankton are a part of the Kingdom Animalia. The genus and species of plankton can vary greatly because they are a very diverse group of organisms.
Is plankton a protists?
Yes, plankton can include protists. Protists are a group of diverse eukaryotic organisms that do not fit into the plant, animal, or fungi kingdoms, and many species of plankton fall under this category.
Is a detritivore?
Plankton is a very diverse group of microorganisms. Some plankton species are detritivores, but most are not and obtain their food from other sources.
