Not currently, but there may be many fewer now. Plankton are one of the most abundant organisms on our planet. There must be enough to feed millions of whales and other animals, and to provide the photosynthesis that maintains oxygen levels on the Earth.

How does plankton get its energy?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Phytoplankton receive energy through photosynthesis. Photosynthesis is the process of making glucose using sunlight. Carbon dioxide, sunlight, and water combine, producing glucose sugars that the being can use for energy.

Zooplankton however feed off phytoplankton and decaying matter. They are known as detrivores.


Phytoplankton use photosynthesis to make food; zooplankton get energy from other phytoplankton and decay matter.

How does plankton participate in the oxygen cycle?

Asked by Wiki User

Some plankton are photosynthetic, which means that they "make their own food" from the sunlight, much like plants. Most photosynthesis uses carbon dioxide and creates oxygen. The oxygen can be dissolved into the water.

How many flowers are in the rainforest?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

If you take flowers to mean angiosperms (the group name for all flowering plants) then surprisingly few are found in the rainforest. This is primarily due to the lack of sunlight that is capable of penetrating through the thick upper canopy (only around 2% reaches the forest floor).

Most plants produce a 'flower' of some sort - an organ which disperses/collects gametes of the opposite sex. The majority of rainforest plants are insect pollinated as there is little wind flow. A surprisingly number are pollinated by mammals (eg bats) as well as the more common insect pollination.
