Phytoplankton are being investigated to be used in reducing carbon dioxide levels in the atmosphere.

phytoplankton or their byproducts are used for many different purposes such as fertilizer, nutritional suppliments, tooth paste, and thickening agents.

Grade 3 Unit 2 Lesson 2 Sunlight Zone Plants Phytoplankton

# data[].attributes.body
If the consumers are a light bulb, then the electricity would be the Phytoplankton. If the consumers are the body of a car, then the Phytoplankton would be the engine.

Microphone makes voice sound cringey xD

Phytoplankton is commonly known as plankton although its scientific name is phytoplankton.

# data[].attributes.body
Phytoplankton can get killed by too much of the sun's radiation, because they are very sensitive to it.

# data[].attributes.body
FACT:
Phytoplankton signal how an ocean ecosystem is doing. They do this by growing under certain conditions.

# data[].attributes.body
FUN FACT: Phytoplankton are fed on by some of the biggest creatures in the ocean.

# data[].attributes.body
FUN FACT: Only bacteria outnumber phytoplankton

# data[].attributes.body
If you removed phytoplankton from the ecosystem the food chain. This would happen because they are producers and are the start of the food chain.

# data[].attributes.body
Phytoplankton do not have symbiotic relationships with any animals.

# data[].attributes.body
Phytoplankton face dangers. One is that they are prey animals. Some of those animals include blue whales, shrimp, and  jellyfish. The second danger is that pollution floating on the surface can block sunlight that they need to survive.

# data[].attributes.body
Phytoplankton do not belong to to a group.

# data[].attributes.body
Phytoplankton compete with other plants that float at the top of the ocean for sunlight. These plants include seaweed and kelp. Also phytoplankton have to get sunlight to survive so if anything living or not living is on the surface blocking sunlight it is a danger to them.

# data[].attributes.body
The role of phytoplankton is to provide a food source for the other animals in the ecosystem.

# data[].attributes.body
When phytoplankton die they carry carbon down to the ocean floor making it an important part of the carbon cycle

# data[].attributes.body
Phytoplankton are very similar to plants. They both contain chlorophyll and require sunlight to live and gro

# data[].attributes.body
Sea creatures are not the only things that eat Phytoplankton (humans do also! xD)

# data[].attributes.body
FUN FACT:
Dinoflagellates, a common form of Phytoplankton, can leave a red trail in the water

# data[].attributes.body
Here we have an astounding image of phytoplankton.

Phytoplankton in a microscope.

# data[].attributes.body
Phytoplankton do not migrate but they do make a short trips. They go to the bottom of the ocean in the early morning and goes to the top of the ocean at sunset.

# data[].attributes.body
Phytoplankton vary in size, mostly ranging from microscopic cyanobacteria and plants.

# data[].attributes.body
Phytoplankton float on the top of the ocean for most of the day.this is there habitat.

Here is a video on phytoplankton.

This is a great image of phytopankton.

# data[].attributes.body
Phytoplankton vary in size, but are small plants that live on

# data[].attributes.body
Phytoplankton take in sunlight and use photosynthesis to convert the sunlight into nutrients they can use.

# data[].attributes.body
I would describe my organism as a microscopic buoyant plant that stay near the top of the ocean.

# data[].attributes.body
Phytoplankton float to the surface of the water which provides food for the primairy aquatic life forms.

# data[].attributes.body
Some phytoplankton consume other organisms to get energy

# data[].attributes.body
Phytoplankton float at the surface of the water, therefore they do not compete for sunlight

# data[].attributes.body
Phytoplankton are not involved in any symbiotic relationships

# data[].attributes.body
Phytoplankton produce half the atmosphere's oxygen

# data[].attributes.body
Phytoplankton also show water quality, because of how sensitive they are

# data[].attributes.body
Phytoplankton use photosynthesis to produce food. Then they get eaten

# data[].attributes.body
Phytoplankton are the base of virtually every ocean food web

# data[].attributes.body
Phytoplankton are very sensitive to pollution

HABITAT:
Phytoplankton can live anywhere on the surface of the ocean as long as there is an abundance of sunlight.

# data[].attributes.body
COOPERATION & COMPETITION:
Phytoplankton produce most of the oxygen in the ocean through photosynthesis. Marine organisms really rely on that process.
Different phytoplankton may compete with each other for sunlight.

# data[].attributes.body
FOOD SOURCES:
Phytoplankton are plants that mostly use photosynthesis to produce their food and energy. They are not to be mixed up with Zooplankton, who can' t perform photosynthesis.
