Plankton

phytpplakton gives us oxygen for us to breath.

your reading material uses an analogy of watering a plant as a way of discussing

Britainâ??s red squirrel population has declined because of competitive exclusion, the disappearance of their food source, and disease. In the early 1900â??s, the gray squirrel was introduced to the country and they have easily adapted to the area replacing red squirrels.

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.

Krill.

The plankton eating fish are most likely to live in the warmer and more aerated sections of the freshwater lake. Plankton thrive in areas that are not too frosty.

The ocean sunfish, Mola mola, is not a plankton. Its a nekton which means it has the ability to swim and direct itself through waters. It can decide where to go and can fight against some ocean currents. Plankton cannot do this, they drift along with the currents.

if by resperation, you mean cellular respiration, then using glucose and oxygen, Cellular Respiration makes carbon dioxide, water, and chemical energy in the form of 36 ATP

Phytoplankton form the foundation for most marine life food webs. Also they are responsible for half the photosynthetic activity on earth.

While no living species of turtle is known to live on just plankton, there are several species that have been observed skimming accumulations of plankton.

shrimp will have difficulty finding food.

Yes, they usually stay in groups, though they can't control that since plankton can't swim.

Yes you can eat plankton. It wouldn't really fill you up, but their edible

No, rotifers do not harm humans. They do not even pose a risk to humans if they are consumed in water because they do not attach to the stomach.

Well i have never seen one at petco... lol.... or petsmart for that matter... but I am sure you can find them somewhere. Have you heard about seamonkeys? Theyre cool too. Look 'em up!

Although algae range from single-celled organisms to multicellular organisms, if they are both multicellular and marine, and are easily seen by the naked eye, they are generally called seaweeds. Single-celled or few-celled organisms are not usually called seaweeds. Seaweeds themselves have many forms, including those that appear as if they are terrestrial plants with leaves and stems, looking like moss, mushrooms, leaf lettuce, or even a palm tree. Some are quite large: the multicellular giant kelp reaches 60 meters in length.

The collapse of the world's phytoplankton population would have dire consequences for our environment and civilization. Global climate health is affected by phytoplankton population health. Phytoplankton is responsible for approximately 50 percent of all photosynthesis on earth. This means they function as a major carbon dioxide sink, pulling this gas from the atmosphere and creating organic matter and emitting oxygen. In this way the phytoplankton population is a major factor in limiting global warming and in the general atmospheric health of the planet.

Krill are mostly herbivorous although they do eat zooplankton when given the opportunity. Zooplankton does offer a source of protein to the krill.

No, Phytoplankton is the smallest form of plankton.

They are eukaryotes, not prokaryotes. Only backeria can be prokaryotes.

YES.... Plankton always eat krill.... This means krill is the lowest living thing in the food chain.. peace out hustlers
