text: Plankton are a group of marine and freshwater organisms that drift along ocean currents because they are too small or weak to swim against them.
text: 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.
text: Although most plankton are tiny, the term also covers relatively large organisms such as jellyfish.
text: Plankton are the tiny plants and animals found floating in the ocean, they are some of the smallest and most abundant organisms across our planet.
text: And not all plankton are tiny - jellyfish (sea jellies) are considered plankton.
text: Since plankton are incredibly small, there are a lot of plankton on earth.
text: Plankton, on the other hand, are small and, if they swim at all, do so at biologically low Reynolds numbers (0.001 to 10), where the viscous behavior of water dominates, and reversible flows are the rule.
text: The question is actually harder than students think, because plankton can be small, they can be big, they can be plants, and they can be animals.
text: Plankton may be small, but these tiny drifters play a huge role in aquatic ecosystems.
text: Plankton is very small, and because they are so tiny, they are too weak to swim, therefore they simply drift in the water.
text: Plankton are a diverse group of marine and freshwater organisms that, because they are either nonmotile or too small and weak, cannot swim against the current and as such exist in a drifting state.
text: As a rule of thumb, plankton are small and, if they swim at all, do so at biologically low Reynolds numbers (0.001 to 10), where the viscous behaviour of water dominates and reversible flows are the rule.
text: Many plankton are extremely small and pass through even the smallest holes in plankton nets.
text: These plankton are so small they must be concentrated on filters in order to be identified.
text: These are small and often microscopic organisms.
text: The plankton you are likely to catch will be small, generally 2 mm in diameter or less, so you'll need a magnifying glass, or, better yet, a microscope to view them.
text: They are so small that they are usually drifted away by waves and currents of the sea.
text: They are so small that they are usually drifted away by waves and currents of the sea.
text: Plankton are tiny animals and plants that drift or swim in the water column.
