[cameron.htx]

1. Plankton comes from planktos which means _____wandering_______________.
2. What distinguishes phytoplankton from other types of plankton? Single-celled life that turns sunlight and carbon dioxid into edible gold, food. Why are phytoplankton important? The base of the largest food web in the world.
3. How abundant are plankton? A teaspoon of water could contain over a thousand species.
4. Why do some plankton migrate vertically? They rise up from the depths to feed on the sunlight food provided by phytoplankton.

2 tiny animals found near the surface in aquatic environments. They are also the beginning of the food chain for other plants.
3 in the trillions
4 they rise up from the depths to feed on the food provided by the phyto plankton
5 plankton acts his food
6 many spices use the sun powerd feast produced by the phyto plankton
7 they make a barrel from the remains from their victim to feed their young
