Diatoms, Green and Golden Algae and Cyanobacteria
Golden algae live in lakes and oceans, while diatoms live in freshwater and saltwater.
Plankton are very small organisms that live in the world's oceans. There are two main categories of plankton; phytoplankton and zooplankton. Phytoplankton are small plants that cause the color of the oceans in some places to be green. They also make up the largest single biomass in the world. Zooplankton are small animals that eat phytoplankton.
Plankton is grouped organisms that are sometimes castoffs from other creatures in the sea. They are also tiny bugs and fish and bacteria that cannot swim. Whales eat plankton by taking in water.
Zooplankton: segmented worm, jellyfish, Portuguese man o' war, copepods, krill, chaetognaths, sea butterflies, sea angels, salp, and fish larvae.
Phytoplankton: chromalveolata, alveolata, excavata, rhizaria, red algae, basal archaeplastids, some green algaes, amoebozoa, and choanozoa.
Zooplankton are the tiny organisms found near the surface of the water. Some examples are nanoplankton, macroplankton and picoplankton.

What are the two types of planktons?
Phytoplankton and zooplankton
What is the difference between phytoplankton and zooplankton?
phytoplankton are autotrophs and zooplankton are heterotrophs
What plant do zooplankton eat?
Plankton are microscopic organisms that live in the ocean. Zooplankton are tiny animals. Phytoplankton are tiny plants. Some examples of phytoplankton include many types of algae, or single-celled plants.
What is smaller than zooplankton?
Phytoplankton is smaller than zooplankton because it eats phytoplankton.
What are the three primary types of plankton?
What different categories can plankton be placed into?
Who eats a phytoplankton?
Zooplankton eat phytoplankton
What eats phytoplankton?
Some examples of what eat phytoplankton include sea stars, shrimp, snails, whales, small fish, zooplankton, and jellyfish.
Autotroph is to heterotroph as phytoplankton is to what?
Zooplankton. Phytoplankton are autotrophs, as they produce their own food through photosynthesis. Zooplankton are heterotrophs, relying on consuming other organisms, like phytoplankton, to obtain their energy.
Zooplankton get their energy from?
Zooplankton get their food from eating phytoplankton. The phytoplankton are the base of the food chain. Zooplankton are primary consumers or the second step in the food chain.
What can zooplankton eat?
phytoplankton
Are zooplankton producers?
No, zooplankton are not producers. They are consumers and primarily feed on phytoplankton and other organic matter in the marine ecosystem.
How zooplankton controls the growth of phytoplankton?
Zooplankton can control the growth of phytoplankton by grazing on them, reducing their population. This grazing pressure can influence the size and composition of phytoplankton communities. By consuming phytoplankton, zooplankton can also regulate nutrient cycling and ecosystem productivity in aquatic environments.
