Phytoplankton are microscopic marine plants. P hytoplankton, also known as microalgae, are similar to land-based plants in that they contain chlorophyll and require sunlight in order to live and grow. Most phytoplankton are buoyant and float in the upper part of the ocean, where sunlight penetrates the water. Phytoplankton also require inorganic nutrients such as nitrates, phosphates, and sulfur which they convert into proteins, fats, and carbohydrates.
Bioluminescent Noctiluca scintillans (a dinoflagellate). Plankton is composed of the phytoplankton (the plants of the sea) and zooplankton (zoh-plankton) which are typically the tiny animals found near the surface in aquatic environments.Like phytoplankton, zooplankton are usually weak swimmers and usually just drift along with the currents.ioluminescent Noctiluca scintillans (a dinoflagellate).
