Where do phytoplankton get energy to produce for other organisms?
Phytoplankton are photosynthetic organisms. They get their energy from sunlight.
Plankton aren't turtules and plankton aren't turtles.
What is the opposite of a plankton?
Nekton is the opposite of plankton. The term encompasses all organisms that can swim actively in water eg. fish, sqid.
Plankton consist all drifting organisms that are carried by the oceans tides and currents.
In presence of oxygen glycolysis is followed by?
When oxygen is present, the Krebs Cycle and then the Electron transport chain follow glycolysis.
When oxygen is not present, a different pathway follows glycolysis. The combination of glycolysis and the different pathway is called fermentation.

What do phytoplankton live in?
In the intertidal zone
Aquatic zooplankton live in almost every major body of surface water on earth. They are uncommon in extreme environments such as hot springs, deep isolated caves, and anoxic water(though some are evolved to withstand low oxygen).
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?
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?
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.
What is the most numerous organism on earth called?
Several organisms are plentiful on earth. When speaking of "creatures" the group known as insects is the largest group of tangible creatures.
