Plankton are tiny organisms that drift in water and form the base of the marine food chain. They produce a significant amount of Earth's oxygen through photosynthesis. Plankton populations are affected by factors such as temperature, nutrient availability, and ocean currents.
Animal plankton are typically omnivores, feeding on a variety of other organisms such as smaller zooplankton, fish larvae, and even plant plankton. Plant plankton, also known as phytoplankton, are photosynthetic organisms that primarily obtain energy from sunlight and nutrients from the water, so they are not considered omnivores.
Plant plankton is named Phytoplankton. Animal plankton is called Zooplankton.
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.
Plankton can include both herbivores and carnivores. Phytoplankton are plant-like plankton that primarily obtain energy through photosynthesis and are considered herbivores. However, zooplankton are animal-like plankton that feed on phytoplankton and are considered carnivores.
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.
Plankton is not algae. Plankton eats algae though.
No plankton is not a plant it's just a small animal in the sea/ocean.
diving beetles
Plant plankton are called producers because the get energy from the sun and make their own food

yes it is
Not a PlantNo, in fact it is a biotic organism (living thing) but not a plant. It's a animal. It even has a digestive system and stomach. It eats plankton. Just-if u wanna know-zooplankton is a animal and phytoplankton is a plant.
yes they do because they are bottom feeders .

Plankton is made of very tiny plants or animals, which are usually one-celled. Phytoplankton is the name of the plant plankton; Zooplankton is the name of the animal plankton.
