Phytoplankton receive energy through photosynthesis. Photosynthesis is the process of making glucose using sunlight. Carbon dioxide, sunlight, and water combine, producing gluâ¦cose sugars that the being can use for energy.  Zooplankton however feed off phytoplankton and decaying matter. They are known as detrivores.
Most of the plankton in the ocean are plants. Phytoplankton produce their own food by lassoing the energy of the sun in a process called photosynthesis. So for sunlight to reach them, they need to be near the top layer of the ocean. So must zooplankton, which feed on the phytoplankton. Plankton have evolved many different ways to keep afloat. Spikes, like those on a radiolarian, help to distribute its weight over a large surface area and slowing its sinking. Many organisms, such as copepods and diatoms, produce oil to keep them afloat.
