It was coined by a scientist called Victor Henson in 1887. The study of plankton is known as planktology and a planktonic individual is referred to as Plankton written by Iain M.

Een Plankton Onderzoek In Het Kromme Rijngebied DOWNLOAD READ ONLINE Phytoplankton Producers Single cells or chains of cells Include the smallest plankton - picoplankton (0.2 -2 microns) Remain near the surface Zooplankton Consumers (including herbivores and carnivores) Include microscopic and macroscopic organisms May vertically migrate (to a depth of 200m) during the day for protection but resurface at night Plankton Notes Zooplankton (Greek: zoo = animal) 10 and 20 consumers in marine ecosystems. Some are simple, unicellular protists (radiolaria and foraminefera) Some are larval stages of larger animals (holoplankton) Can be grouped as: Holoplankton- spend their entire lives as plankton. Meroplankton- spend only a part of their lives as plankton. "plankton" comes from the Greek word "planktos" which means to drift or wander. Plankton are found in bodies of water ranging from fresh to salty, including rivers, streams, ponds, lakes, the ocean, and estuaries. Plankton are usually so small that they can only be observed with a microscope or hand lens. They come in many shapes and sizes. 5. Next, assign 2 of the teams to the phytoplankton side of the room and the remaining 2 teams to the zooplankton side. Ask them to discuss and summarize key differences between the two types of plankton, writing bullet points on the flipchart paper. 6. Lastly, have the phytoplankton teams write down the advantages of being Plankton are frequently described as organisms that drift on or near the surface of the water and are unable to swim sufficiently strongly to move toward tides, winds, or currents, but this desc
