What do bacterioplankton eat?
Bacterioplankton primarily consume dissolved organic matter, which consists of organic molecules such as sugars, amino acids, and fatty acids. They also feed on detritus, dead organisms, and other organic particles in the water column. Additionally, bacterioplankton can engage in symbiotic relationships with other organisms for nutrition.
What ocean animals eat bacteria?
Bacterioplankton are a type of plankton so small that they eat organic materials including bacteria. It is one of the three types of plankton, phytoplankton, bacterioplankton and zooplankton.

What phylum do plankton belong to?
What phylum plankton belong to will depend on the specific organism. It will be a member of either bacterioplankton, phytoplankton or zooplankton.
What is the meaning of the term plankton and what are two types of plankton?
Plankton usually refers to the small organisms which are incapable of swimming against the current. This includes plants (phytoplankton), animals (zooplankton), and bacteria (bacterioplankton), making three groups.See the related link listed below for more information:
How are algae and plankton different?
Algae are eukaryotic organisms that can be grouped into various categories, including green, brown, and red algae. Plankton, on the other hand, are a diverse group of organisms that include both plants and animals, with varying sizes and types such as phytoplankton (algae), zooplankton, and bacterioplankton. While all algae are considered plankton, not all plankton are algae.
Are hamsters prokaryotic or eukaryotic?
Plankton can be either eukaryotic or prokaryotic, it's dependent on the specific type of plankton. Plankton are divided into three different categories, Zooplankton, Bacterioplankton and phytoplankton. Zooplankton are eukaryotic.
What is the difference of phytoplakton and plakton?
"Phytoplankton" refers specifically to microscopic plant-like organisms that live in aquatic environments and photosynthesize to produce energy. "Plankton" is a general term that encompasses a wider range of organisms, including phytoplankton, zooplankton (animal-like organisms), and bacterioplankton (bacterial organisms). Phytoplankton are a subset of plankton.
Do plankton eat sea weed?
No. Phytoplankton are plants themselves, and they derive their energy from sunlight!
What is the weight of a single plankton?
We have a problem weighing a single plankton. And it's not because we don't have accurate machines (scales) to do that. It's because there are so many kinds of plankton. Here's a most important fact: plankton is a term that refers to aquatic life that lives in certain zones of the open ocean or a lake. It's not a single living thing or a small group of things, but is comprised of many thousands of types of organisms. They range is size tremendously! Because plankton represents a wide group of organisms, we can't discern "the weight of a single plankton" as was asked. A single amphipod may weight a ten thousandth of a gram, but there are bacteria that are plankton - the bacterioplankton - and they are "electron microscope small" and weigh far less than a microgram.
What is an omnivore in the ocean?
Something that is a carnivore and a herbivore is called an omnivore. An omnivore in the ocean is: piranha dugong seal whale dolphin some sharks
What is the difference between zooplankton and zooxanthellae?
Plankton is broken down into the three trophic level groups listed below.Zooplankton: animals, so they consume oxygen (respiration) in the waterPhytoplankton: plants, so they consume oxygen (respiration) in the water, but they also consume CO2 (during photosynthesis). As a result of the process of photosynthesis (autotrophic organisms) they only appear/live in the water where it reaches the solar light (not in the depth of sea).Bacterioplankton: bacteria and archaea that remineralize organic material.See the related link listed below for more information:
