Plankton is broken down into the three trophic level groups listed below.

Zooplankton: animals, so they consume oxygen (respiration) in the water

Phytoplankton: plants, so they consume oxygen (respiration) in the water, but they also consume CO2 (during photosynthesis). As a result of the process of photosynthesis (autotrophic organisms) they only appear/live in the water where it reaches the solar light (not in the depth of sea).

Bacterioplankton: bacteria and archaea that remineralize organic material.

phytoplanktons are aquatic plants. They are the producers of energy. They convert solar energy into chemical energy. While zooplanktons are aquatic animals and they feed on phytoplanktons.
