Do turtles eat plant plankton?
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.
Do plankton travel with other plankton?
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!
Is plankton a microscopic organism?
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.
Why is phytoplankton important to other organisms?
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.
They are eukaryotes, not prokaryotes. Only backeria can be prokaryotes.
Do zoo plankton eat phyto plankton?
YES.... Plankton always eat krill.... This means krill is the lowest living thing in the food chain.. peace out hustlers
Ctenophora do not have specific organs for breathing. They use their entire body's surface for gas exchange through simple diffusion
How are phytoplankton and grass alike?
Both phytoplankton and zooplankton can live together. They are both free-floating organisms that live in open water. Plankton are often referred to as algae, but they are not algae.
What is most likely to happen if the plankton population decrease in the ocean?
It will be more difficult for salmon to find food
No, all reptiles are vertebrates with a brain, and all the organs we have.
Yes, but they usually eat bacteria (which is a decomposer).
How many cells are in plankton?
The number of plankton is uncountable, even if you were to try to determine specie count rather than population.
Plankton include many creatures - bacteria, algae, various protozoa, diatoms, etc - that drift in the ocean and are food for many marine animals. There are phytoplankton that make their own food via photosynthesis. Zooplankton eat phytoplankton or smaller zooplankton. Bigger animals eat the zooplankton, and so on.
Do zooplankton have more than one eye?
Phytoplankton is small plant type unicellular or simple algae. They can sense light because they photosynthesise but they do not have eye structures. Some Zooplankton have eyes as they are small animals floating in the water column.
Are all plankton photosynthetic?
Plankton is a character from the show Spongebob Squarepants. He is a maniacal little plankton that plots to steal the Crabby Patty Recipe from the Krusty Krab.
