Meet Plankton, One Of The Most Important Organisms On Our Planet. by RobinHez(m): 5:27pm On Jun 08, 2015 |
[img]http://1.bp..com/-r7qqqLfYZQ4/VXW8D30Q6oI/AAAAAAAAAg8/6-Dk9_4PsXk/s320/plankton-poses-4.JPG[/img] Anyone knows spongebob squarepants? yeah, the kid that lives in a pineapple under the sea? Well BBC Earth has partnered with his boss's arch rival Plankton, to create a short film to celebrate the importance of its kind on our earth to celebrate Ocean day. And believe me when i say they are a very important part of our ecosystem. Here are some quick info about Plankton. What is Plankton? Plankton are marine organisms (they live in water). They are so small that they are usually drifted away by waves and currents of the sea. [img]http://4.bp..com/-YjZUrnbDR7c/VXW89hnKWyI/AAAAAAAAAhM/YDHJoqQc5Zo/s200/phytoplankton1b-300px.jpg[/img] Do we have different types of them? Plankton are grouped into two categories which are; the Plants known as PHYTOPLANKTON and Animals called ZOOPLANKTON. Phytoplankton are very tiny microscopic plants that don't have roots, stems or leaves like the kind of plants we see on land. The Zooplankton size varies from tiny organisms like protozoan to larger organisms like Jellyfish. So, how are they important? Think about these little organisms (phytoplankton) as the producers of 50% of the oxygen in the atmosphere. Yeah, they are! and they achieve this feat through Photosynthesis. During the process also, they regulate the temperature of the earth as they enable the sea water to be able to absorb the carbon-dioxide in the atmosphere. For the Zooplankton, they don't depend on light for food like their plant counterparts but they are also an important part of the food chain as they are source of food to much bigger animals. So aren't they important? Go get a burger from the Krusty Krab and lets sit back as we celebrate Plankton, one of the most important creatures in the world. source: http://edscienceblog..com/2015/06/meet-plankton-one-of-most-important.html video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WLNe3TutnNM 9 Likes 6 Shares |
