Yes. Creatures and plants which do not require sunlight for photosynthetic respiration - especially those involved with decomposition live in the aphotic zone.

The permanetly dark zone below the photic zone is called the?
The dark zone, where less than 1% of light can filter through is called the aphotic zone. Aphotic is Latin for "without light"
What are the differences between an aphotic zone and an euphotic zone?
Euphotic & Aphotic zonesEuphotic zone : is the upper layer of water that receives light and thus photothensythesis is possibleAphotic zone : is the portion of ocean that is not exposed to sunlight , and extends from - 0,9 - 4.6 kmEuphotic & Aphotic zonesEuphotic zone : is the upper layer of water that receives light and thus photothensythesis is possibleAphotic zone : is the portion of ocean that is not exposed to sunlight , and extends from - 0,9 - 4.6 km
Which zone has been the most difficult for marine biologists to explore?
aphotic zone
Where is a aphotic zone located?
At the surface of the water to about 100 meters under the water.. The zone that receives the most sunlight.
Is it challenging for organisms to live in the biotic zone?
It is challenging for any organism to live anywhere
What is the aphotic zone and what plants and animals live there?
Aphotic = no light so it is the zone below the depth of where light can penetrate. Depends on several things. The clarity of the water. less stuff in the water the farther light can go. There are no plants in the aphotic zone. Generally, there is less oxygen (and sometimes none) in the aphotic zone, but some animals can be found there. It depends on how deep this zone is and how well mixed the water column is.
What happens in an aphotic zone a body of water?
There is no photosynthesis
What is the average temperature in the aphotic zone?
the temp. of the aphotic zone biome is freezing and gets colder in depth.
What is the aphotic zone?
Aphotic zone is the area of a lake or an ocean which gets little or no sunshine throughout the year.
What distinguishes the photic zone from the aphotic zone in an aquatic zone?
Photic = where there's light Aphotic = where there isn't light, deeper waters.
What distinguishes the photic zone from the zone aphotic zone in an aquatic ecosystem?
Photic = where there's light Aphotic = where there isn't light, deeper waters.
What zone does sunlight reach through?
aphotic zone
What zone does the desert live in?
The desert 'lives' nowhere. It is not a living organism but is the home to many living organisms - plants and animals.
Difference between photic zone and aphotic zone?
Photic Zone: part of the ocean that receives sunlight Aphotic Zone: area in an ocean where sunlight does not reach and photosynthesis does not occur
Explain why the photic and aphotic zone of marine biomes are interdependent?
Since the aphotic zone does not receive sunlight it relys on the photic zone for the sunlight which in terms it does penetrate.
What distinguishes the photic zone From the aphotic zone IN an aquatic ecosystems?
Photic = where there's light Aphotic = where there isn't light, deeper waters.
In which zone of the ocean are bioluminescent organisms found?
* Aphotic Zone
