Taxonomy and Plankton-Magic Square Review
Write the number of the description in the square with the matching term. If correct, all rows and columns will add up to “the magic number”
1.
Type of plankton that only live a plankton for PART of their lives
2. Type of plankton that undergo photosynthesis
3. Group of marine organisms that are strong swimmers
4. Type of phytoplankton that usually use a tail-like appendage for propulsion and often cause “Red Tides”
5. What is the purpose of small spines found on phytoplankton such as diatoms?
6. Used as a yellow-orange food coloring in foods
7. Group of marine organisms that are poor swimmers and drift with the current
8. Interlocking pattern of food chains
9. Greek Philosopher that developed the FIRST classification system
10. Swedish botanist that developed the 2-name classification system used today
11. Group of related phyla; largest grouping in taxonomy
12. Type of marine organisms that live on the ocean floor, or attached to a substrate
13. Type of plankton that spend their entire lives as plankton
14. Plankton that are large enough to see without a microscope (2cm-20cm)
15. Free-floating, often microscopic aquatic animals
16. Least productive season for Plankton growth (think about what they need)
17. Harmful algal bloom-discoloration of water caused by dense concentrations of microscopic plants
18. Fine mesh nets used to collect plankton samples
19. This language is used for scientific names because it is not spoken today, and will never change
20. Phytoplankton with siliceous shells used in filters, toothpaste, and cleansers
21. Comes from kelp; used in ice cream, baked goods, synthetic rubber, paints, etc
22. Used as a stabilizer in foods such as ice cream, pudding, chocolate milk, deli meat, and yogurt
23. The season with the most ideal conditions for phytoplankton growth (think about what they need)
24. Marine organisms that feed on gelatinous macroplankton and are vulnerable to eating “plastic” pollution
25. Large marine organisms who depend on plankton as their major food source

Taxonomy and Plankton
Across
1. a patch of the ocean surface that has turned reddish-brown by a bloom or population explosion of
dinoflagellates
3. animals that drift in the ocean currents, found at all depths
4. a developmental stage of an animal that appears different from the adult
8. large plankton that range from 2-20cm
10. microscopic photosynthetic organisms that drift in the surface waters of the ocean
12. any plankton that spends its entire life drifting or floating with the currents
Down
2. group of phytoplankton that use their tail-like appendages to move through the water; may be toxic
5. zooplankton in the egg or larval stage that will live on the sea floor or become a strong swimmer as an adult
6. marine organisms that cannot swim strongly and are carried by ocean currents
7. aquatic organisms that dwell on the bottom of the ocean or are permanently attached to something
9. aquatic organisms that can swim through the water against the currents
11. the process of plants converting water and carbon dioxide in to food using sunlight
