How do whales eat plankton?

Whales that eat plankton have things called baleen plates. They are fleshy plates covered in hairs. the whale approaches the swimming plankton with an open mouth and then closes its mouth.

Some whales do and some whales don't like the killer whale eats meat and other fish etc but whales for example the blue whale only eat plankton.
