863 Questions
What kingdom includes plankton?
The kingdom that phytoplankton are apart of is called Protista. To be a protist the organism also has to be apart of the other Eukaryotic kingdoms.
Are marine organisms divided into 3 groups?
The answers are;
1. Littoral zone
2. Sublittoral zone
3. Pelagic zone
What do phytoplankton use to thrive?
They use sunlight, carbon dioxide (CO2) and water, in a process called photosynthesis, to produce organic compounds which they use for food and to make their cells. One waste product is oxygen and this makes it possible for animals to live on earth.
Plankton are not crustaceans, but are microscopic organisms. Crustaceans such as crayfish, shrimp, lobsters, crabs and krill feed on plankton.
What animal eat plants and animals and plankton?
lots of fish in the sea eat plankton, and sea weed which is a plant
if u look up in trees in the forest you'll see animals that are plant eaters except some birds
Acorrding to the episode friend or foe, plankton(or mr. krabs) said they were born on the same day. So his birthdate is 11/30/1942(71 years old).
Why are plant plankton called producers?
Plant plankton are called producers because the get energy from the sun and make their own food
Yes and no. typically plankton applies to microorganisms that are not fish. They are small microscopic animals. But more properly, plankton means drifter or floater. Anything that floats can be called a plankton. For example, the Porteguese Man of War is a plankton, while a copepod and diatom is also an aexample of plankton. Some plant are considered to be plankton and some algae are forms of phytoplankton.
Where is phytoplankton on the food chain?
Krill are catagorized as meat on the food chian, just like any other type of sea food. They're a good source of protien, that is if you'll eat them!
What fish eats a fish that eats plankton?
Yes they do.
Little fish eat phytoplankton because they are the base of the food chain. Small fish eat phytoplankton, medium fish eat small fish, and big fish eat medium fish. Humans (you and me) eat the big fish. That is the phytoplankton cycle.
Shrimp eat zooplankton because they are smaller then shrimp
Yes, clams are filter feeders and extract the plankton floating in the water as food.
They are definitely not carnivores. They eat seaweed and algae too so they have to be omnivores. No choice.
A cod when grown is a rather large fish, so it'd have to be an even larger fish to eat it. But sure, particularly juvenile cod are likely to be seen as a nice snack by many of the fish in the ocean.
What makes anchovies look as if they have hair?
They are fish bones. They are really small and not likely to hurt you, as your stomach acids will dissolve them.
A Minke Whale eats plankton and fish. It also eats krill.
Anchovies do eat plankton as well as fish larvae.
Is reading in the dark bad for your eyes?
According to "Howstuffworks.com":
Most experts agree that reading in low light does not damage your eyes. It can cause eye strain, however, which has a number of unpleasant temporary symptoms and possibly some long-term effects.
When the room light is low, your eye adjusts in several ways. First, the rod and cone cells on the retina begin to produce more light-sensitive chemicals. These light-sensitive chemicals are the first step in detecting the light, converting it to an electrical signal and transmitting that electrical signal to the brain. Second, the iris muscles relax, which causes the opening of your eye, the pupil, to become very large. This allows your eye to collect as much light as possible. Finally, the nerve cells in the retina adapt so that they can work in low light. These three changes take about 20 minutes to 2 hours, but they increase your sensitivity to low light by about 10,000 times.
When you read, your eye must be able to focus an image of the words onto your retina. To do this, the iris, as well as the muscles that control the shape of your lens, must contract to keep the focused image on the retina. If you read in low light, your visual muscles get mixed signals: Relax to collect the most light, but at the same time, contract to maintain the focused image. When that object is poorly lit, focusing becomes even more difficult because the contrast between the words and the page is not as great, which decreases the eye's ability to distinguish visual detail. That ability is called visual acuity. Your eyes have to work harder to separate the words from the page, which strains your eye muscles. Consider this to be strenuous exercise for your eye muscles. So your eye muscles will ache, much as your arm muscles and leg muscles become sore after strenuous exercise.
When your eyes are working this hard for a long period of time, the strain may cause a number of physical effects. Symptoms of eye strain include sore eyeballs, headaches, back and neck aches, drooping eyelids and blurred vision. Because you often don't blink enough when focusing on a single object, you may also experience uncomfortable dryness in your eyes. None of this damages your eyes, and all of it eventually goes away after you stop straining them. Many eye doctors leave it at that, but some note that eye strain may contribute to nearsightedness. Most people who are nearsighted were born that way, but there is evidence that prolonged eye strain can make it worse.
If you are comfortable reading with a flashlight (or other low light) and don't experience any of the above symptoms of eye strain, it's probably fine for you to read this way. It's certainly easier on your eyes to read in good light, however. You can also avoid eye strain when you're reading by blinking frequently and taking a moment to focus on something out the window or across the room every 15 to 30 minutes.
What are the small creatures in the ocean called?
There are many types of animals and plants in the ocean. The tiny sea plants and animals are called plankton or phytoplankton.
Plankton is a diverse group of water living organisms and it is the generic name of water organisms (plants or animals) that floats in the top layers of water. It is mostly seen in oceans specifically in the sunlight zone.
What are the life zones of the ocean?
The zones are netric and somthing ill update soon
stop leaving stupid answers about peoples moms -_-
