Plankton Observations

 In the picture above is a worm, it's zooplankton because it's an animal, meroplankton because it's only plankton for a part of it's life, and its macroplankton because it can be seen without a microscope.

 This Picture (above) is Phytoplankton because its a plant, holoplankton because it's plankton its whole life, and microplankton because its only seen microscopically.The flat srtucture helps it become more resistant to sinking.

 It's hard to see but in the above picture is a type of phytoplankton because it's a plant, holoplankton because it stays plakton its whole life and microplankton because you can see it microscopically. It has special adaptations like its stacked structure to help it slowly sink in a zig zag pattern.

The above picture is of a sand sample from a beach in Japan! This beach has "red sand" because its made of tiny starfish. These are zooplankton because it's an animal, meroplankton because it goes through stages and doesnt stay plankton its whole life, and it's also macro because you can see if you look closely!
