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.
The food web. Phytoplankton are the foundation of the aquatic food web, the primary producers, feeding everything from microscopic, animal-like zooplankton to multi-ton whales.Small fish and invertebrates also graze on the plant-like organisms, and then those smaller animals are eaten by bigger ones.Photograph Â©2009 qnr-away for a while. ). Phytoplankton cause mass mortality in other ways. In the aftermath of a massive bloom, dead phytoplankton sink to the ocean or lake floor. The bacteria that decompose the phytoplankton deplete the oxygen in the water, suffocating animal life; the result is a dead zone.
