Aquatic Plants

Aquatic plants grow wholly or partially in water. Some, like the lotus, are rooted in mud, while others, like the water hyacinth, float on the surface of water. Water plants enhance ponds and water features in landscaping.

How do aquatic animals help aquatic plants?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Aquatic plants help to oxygenate the water - replacing the oxygen that's used by the fish - and the decaying fish waste.

Where do most aquatic plants and algae live and why?

Asked by Wiki User

aquatic plants live in water because they cannot survive on land

Do aquatic plants and animals breathe in Oxygen or Carbon Dioxide?

Asked by Wiki User

well oxygen dissolves in the water and makes it dissolved oxygen and so they still take in regular oxygen just mixed with water

terrestrial- lives or grows on land

aquatic- lives or grows in water

What are some advantages and disadvantages of aquatic plants moving to a terrestrial life?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Advantages:

Sustainable Fishing

Higher yields (no Anaerobic Gill Disease) due to freshwater paths

No waste Food due to auto feeder and Infrared Technology

Each Generation Artificially selected to only obtain fish with highest possible yield and disease resistance, increasing yield.

Can be genetically modified to have a 10 fold size increase, and can be made to grow on less nutrients and be more disease resistant.

- Increased growth of fish in hatcheries, due to artificially fertilizing eggs, leading to higher chance of fertilization, as in the wild only 10% of eggs are fertilized.

Disadvantages

- High doses of antibiotics used, leading to bio-accumulation in humans that consume it

- Indoor Hatcheries lead to bio-accumulation of Heavy metals

- Large amount of freshwater used in indoor hatcheries, which means with out an on-site recyclers process is very expensive

- unknown consequences of genetic engineering

- Outdoor Hatcheries leads to competition between wild fish and farmed fish (even though still in nets, food, oxygen and space is still being consumed)

- Environmental impact of large wastes concentrated in one area

- Easy for disease to spread due to low spatial equality, leading easy transmission from host to host.

- Small spaces leads to fin and tails being damaged due to rubber with nets or walls of hatcheries.

Aquatic plants provide food and habitat for many animals such as fish and waterfowl. They provide soil stability, and keep ponds and lakes from eroding.

Do aquatic plants need sunlight?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Rooted aquatic plants can be found in areas with lower sunlight exposure. This is because the plants are used to having limited light because they're used to being in the water.

Will goldfish eat aquatic plants?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

If the goldfish is big enough and the guppies small enough, yes the guppies could well be eaten by the goldfish.

Also, guppies should never be with guppies are guppies are tropical fish and goldfish are coldwater fish.

What is an aquatic plant?

Asked by Wiki User

An aquatic plant is a plant that lives in freshwater. Some can live submerged in the water or live floating on the water. Other live on the floor of the pond or lake or wherever it is. They can also live in between drifting. Examples would be lily pads are floating however, aquatic ferns live at the floor. They can live in salt water like the ocean or regular water like a pond or lake.

'A plant that grows partly or wholly in freshwater whether rooted in the mud, as a lotus, or floating without anchorage, as the water hyacinth.' From Answers.com

A marine plant is a plant that lives in seawater.

What is the name of a non-flowering aquatic plant?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

It means that the plant does not reproduce by means of traditional flowers and seed is not formed within a closed ovary of the flower.

Examples of non-flowering plants are: ferns and mosses which reproduce by means of spores, as well as gymnosperms which produce seed in "naked" ovaries (cones).

Why roots of aquatic plant are not well developed?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Because Hydrilla being an aquatic plant absorbs water from free surface of entire plant body and need not to conduct water through xylem tissue.

Why does an aquatic plant bubble?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

An aquatic plant bubbles because it releases oxygen bubbles. The oxygen bubbles float to the surface of the water and get released in to the air.

What challenges do aquatic plants face when trying to complete photosynthesis?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Sunlight doesn't travel very far through water so a plant needs to be near enough to the surface to photosynthesize.

What are aquatic plants behavioral adaptations?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

when an aquatic (water) plant has to adapt to it's environment to survive some examples are: (there are many) adapted coloration to different intensities of light doesn't have the tissue in the stem that strengthens it-is entirely supported by water bladderwort can trap its food via. a small "bladder" underneath it that traps small aquatic animals stronger anchoring roots hope this helps :)
Feet. They crawled from land to water.

Huge leaves with humongous surface area.

How do population changes of aquatic invertebrates indicate water quality?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

In freshwater pollutant testing, various species of Daphnia are used.

(Daphnia magna and Daphnia pulex being most common). Specimens are added to the sample, and then the amount of time until death is one of the many ways they are used to identify the presence of and concentrations of various chemicals. These results are compared with results of similar tests in a lab environment.
