Hello everyone,
I'd like to thank Allison R. and Alexsys P. for pointing out that I didn't know exactly what was plankton. I now know. Before I announce the answer in class, I'd like to offer 10 points of extra credit. I don't plan on announcing this extra credit opportunity in class, but I want to reward those who read this blog.
The first person to answer the following question by posting to this blog will get 5 points extra credit. Question: Can plankton perform photosynthesis? Are they plants or are they animals?
To get extra credit, you will need to cite to a government source. (It's OK to start out with Wikipedia.)
Question 2 (if you answered Question 1 then you are not eligible to answer Question 2). Are coral plants or animals? Can coral perform photosynthesis? How are coral similar to the bacteria that lives inside our guts?

ReplyDeleteYes plankton can perform photosynthesis. Yes plankton can be plant or animal. Known as Phytoplankton (plant kind of plankton) and zooplankton (animal kind of plankton). There is more different types of plankton but here are the animal and plant kinds.
My sources are found from wikipedia and the world book encyclopedia P volume 15. Hope this is good enough! :D

ReplyDeleteThere are two different types of plankton. Zooplankton and phytoplankton. The phytoplankton are able to preform photosyntheis. And they are plants.
Zooplankton on the other hand are animals and cannot preform photosynthesis.
Hope this answers the question!
