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.
