Exploring the Diverse World of Plankton: From Phytoplankton to Zooplankton

Dive into the fascinating realm of plankton, the drifters of the ocean. This article explores the two primary types of plankton: phytoplankton, the microscopic plants that perform photosynthesis, and zooplankton, the tiny animals that feed on them. Discover the roles of diatoms and dinoflagellates, the life cycles of holoplankton and meroplankton, and how they interact within marine ecosystems. With numerous image links to enhance your understanding, this overview reveals the critical importance of plankton in ocean health and the food web.
