The major types of flora and fauna found in aquatic ecosystems are determined primarily by?
Light determined the major types of flora and fauna found in aquatic ecosystems.eg, Tropical region compare to polar region. Due to presence of light, tropical is more productive than polar. so major flora and fauna are found in tropical, so light act as productive force in the tropical region.
Can red lasers penetrate plain glass?
yes it is light and light can
Why is the transparency of water so biologically important?
water is transparent which allows light to filter into aquatic environments, thus aquatic plants can absorb light and perform photosynthesis.
Why cant deep water ecosystems rely on photosynthesis?
Because there is no light. Sunlight doesn't reach that far down.
What is the difference between terrestrial biome and aquatic biome?
Differences between Terrestrial and Aquatic systemsbecause aquatic environments are so rich in nutrients they support more live than equivalent terrestrial ecosystems. The small drifting photosynthetic organisms of the oceans, referred to collectively as phytoplankton are regarded as the major photosynthesizers, or primary producers, of the earth,aquatic environments are much more stable than terrestrial environments, with smaller fluctuations in temperature and other variables,aquatic organisms are seldom exposed to desiccationwhile terrestrial organisms are often exposed to desiccation and are usually relatively resistant to drying out,oxygen (because there is very much less present) is sometimes a limiting factor an aquatic habitats but this is seldom the case in terrestrial habitats,light can be a limiting factor in some aquatic habitats, but in most terrestrial environments there is hardly ever a a shortage of light,terrestrial animals are influenced far more by gravity, while water supports aquatic organisms.
Is the region of no light aquatic environment?
The region where no light penetrates in an aquatic environment is known as the midnight zone. The mesopelagic zone is an area where small amounts of light penetrate.
Does light affect the amount of living things in a water environment?
Yes, it does. When the plants get light, they photosynthesis and give out oxygen to the aquatic animals.The animals then give out carbon dioxide to the plants for them to photosynthesis. But if, there is no sunlight, the plants cannot photosynthesis to make food and give out oxygen to the aquatic animals.Both the aquatic plants and animals eventually die. Therefore, the light affects the amount of living things in a water environment.
Why do most pond organisms live in shallow water?
They need the sunlight. It is true that it is warmer there. But the main thing is that there is more oxygen for all organisms.
The major types of flora and fauna found in aquatic ecosystems are determined primarily by?
Light determined the major types of flora and fauna found in aquatic ecosystems.eg, Tropical region compare to polar region. Due to presence of light, tropical is more productive than polar. so major flora and fauna are found in tropical, so light act as productive force in the tropical region.
Do red light penetrate most than gamma why?
Red light does not penetrate more than gamma rays.
Why light can penetrate lead glass but x-rays can not penetrate?
coz it cant
Can red lasers penetrate plain glass?
yes it is light and light can
If wavelength of light is 104 of radii of earth than why it will penetrate deeper in sea?
if wavelength of light is of order of radii of earth then why it will penetrate deeper in sea?
How is oxygen recycled in an aquatic environment?
Oxygen is recycled in an aquatic environment in much the same way as it is on land. Phytoplankton, diatoms, seaweeds, and other underwater autotrophs use the sun's light to perform photosynthesis and release some of the oxygen produced in this process as a waste product. That oxygen is breathed in by aquatic animals and these animals exhale carbon dioxide because of respiration, which is necessary in the photosynthesis process by the autotrophs.
What happens to the wavelengths of light that penetrate into the ocean?
they are absorbed
At what depth does light fail to penetrate water?
The upper 100 -200 m of the ocean is called the Photic zone (photo = light).At about 150 meters 99% of light is absorbed.Beyond the Photic zone, light does not penetrate, and it is pitch dark.
Can red light kill aquatic plants?
no
