Question

Name at least one phytoplankton and zooplankton commonly found in polluted water.

Answer 1

Zooplankton feed on bacterioplankton, phytoplankton, other zooplankton (sometimes cannibalistically), detritus (or marine snow) and even nektonic organisms. As a result, zooplankton are primarily found in surface waters where food resources (phytoplankton or other zooplankton) are abundant.

Answer 2

Diatoms are found in polluted water

Explanation:

• The most significant difference between zooplankton and phytoplankton is that zooplankton are protozoans and animals, whereas phytoplankton are photosynthetic organisms, including algae (protists), blue-green algae or cyanobacteria (bacteria), and organisms such as dinoflagellates,
• Do not fit neatly into a single group. The most common phytoplankton are diatoms, photosynthesizing dinoflagellates, and blue-green algae.
• Zooplankton include protozoans such as foraminiferans, radiolarians, and non-photosynthesizing dinoflagellates as well as animals like tiny fish and crustaceans such as krill.
