• PHYTOPLANKTON

“plant plankton”

Photosynthetic

The very base of the food chain…

Why do phytoplankton matter to global change?

Page 28: Plankton Net. Fnft Fnft: The evolutionary relationships of the major groups of marine organisms

• ZOOPLANKTON

“animal plankton”

NOT Photosynthetic – but “herbivores” and “carnivores” instead

They FEED ON the very base of the food chain (phytoplankton)…but how?

Page 29: Plankton Net. Fnft Fnft: The evolutionary relationships of the major groups of marine organisms

• 2 types of ZOOPLANKTON

HOLOPLANKTON

Spend entire lives as plankton

Copepod, for example

MEROPLANKTON

Only part of their lives as plankton

crabs & many fish, for example
