Plankton is a general term that refers to diverse organisms that float or drift in water. There isn't a single scientific name for all plankton as it encompasses various species from different taxonomic groups, such as phytoplankton (e.g., diatoms, dinoflagellates) and zooplankton (e.g., copepods, krill).

* I. Kingdom Monera: cells simple and unspecialised; single cells, some in groups or chains. * ** A. Bacteria: single cells in chains or groups; autotrophic and heterotrophic; aerobic and anaerobic; important as a food source and in decomposition. ** B. Cyanobacteria: blue-green algae; autotrophic single cells in chains or groups; produce som red blooms in the sea; phytoplankton. * II. Kingdom Protista: grouping of microscopic and mostly single-celled organisms; autotrophs (algae) and heterotrophs (protozoa). * ** A Phylum Chrysophyta: golden-brown algae; yellow to golden autotrophic single cells in groups or chains; contributing to deep-sea sediments; phytoplankton. ** B Phylum Pyrrophyta: fire algae; single cells with flagella, producing most red tides; bioluminescence common; usually considered phytoplankton. ** *** 1. Class Dinophyceae: dinoflagellates ** C Phylum Sarcodina: radiolarians, foraminiferans, zooplankton. ** D. Phylum Ciliophora: ciliates; zooplankton * III. Kingdom Plantae: plants, primarily nonmotile, multicellular photosynthetic autotrophs. * ** A: Division Phaeophyta: brown algae; ** *** Sargassum: maintains a planktonic habit in the Sargasso Sea. * IV Kingdom Animalia: animals; multicellular heterotrophs with specialised cells, tissues and organ systems; zooplankton (holoplankton= 'whole' always plankton). For temporary members of the zooplankton (meroplankton= larvae of sessile organisms), see Meroplankton below. * ** A Phylum Coelenterata or Cnidaria: radially symmetrical with tentacles and stinging cells. ** *** 1. Class Hydrozoa: jellyfish as one stage in the life cycle, including such colonial forms as the Portuguese man-of-war. *** 2. Class Scyphozoa: jellyfish ** B Phylum Ctenophora: comb jellies, translucent, moving with cilia; often bioluminescent. ** C Phylum Chaetognatha: arrowworms, free-swimming carnivorous worms. ** D Phylum Mollusca: mollusks, the snail-like pteropods. ** E Phylum Arthropoda: animals with paired, jointed appendages and hard outer skeletons ** *** 1. Class Crustacea: copepods and euphausiids. ** F Phylum Chordata: animals including vertebrates with dorsal nerve cord and gill slits at some stage in development. ** *** 1. Subphylum Urochordata: saclike adults with 'tadpole' larvae; salps. * Meroplankton: larval forms from the phyla Annelida (dsegmented worms), Mollusca(shellfish and snails), Echinodermata (starfish and sea urchins) and Chordata (fish).

Moss is a autotroph so no it does not

It forms the base of the food pyramid; therefore, it supports the life of almost all other marine animals. Some animals eat the plankton, other animals eat those animals, and so on. If there were no plankton, the animals would die out.

Ascending rivers from the sea, at certain seasons, for breeding, as the salmon, shad, etc., Tending upwards; -- said of terns in which the lowest secondary segments are on the upper side of the branch of the central stem.

Zooplankton.

Frozen krill can actually be bought at either petco or petsmart. Yes these places are a bit pricey but weigh the options of buying online and overnight freight charges and the prices then aren't really that bad.

I have a soft body that is protected by two bluish -black hard shells I eat tiny plants and animals called plankton I am a

Soil- provides minerals & nutrients, also anchors the plant & holds water around it.

Sun - uses suns energy to grow and manufacture food.

Water- so plants can make their own food through photosynthesis

Air -need carbon dioxide that they use in photosynthesis to make carbon compounds.

Space- if crowded together will be small, and stunted, trees need space for trees and branches.

Correct Temperature- helps with growth.

There's no explanation, that's just how they are.

Phytoplankton are photosynthetic organisms. They get their energy from sunlight.

No because this does not make sence

Plankton aren't turtules and plankton aren't turtles.

shrimp, krill

and other small marine animals

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.

yes planktons live every where in the ocean

See link below:

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.

Mainly krill and other small crustaceans, also unicellular algae.

Yes, and so are seals.

None they are a kind of protist.

No. See the 'Related Questions' for more information.

Black eyed peas, soybeans, and alfalfa are a few.
