Why photosynthesis cannot take place in a boiled sea water?
Boiled sea water removes chlorophyll from the plant which is essential for photosynthesis
What is a characteristic of stable deep sea ecosystem?
the complete absence of photosynthesis
What is the process by which cells oxidize glucose and produce energy?
Green plants use the process of photosynthesis to make carbohydrates from carbon dioxide and water, giving off oxygen in the process. Most plants use chlorophyll as a catalyst, some use similar pigments, and some deep sea organisms have adapted to use different chemical processes.
How will the change in sea levels affect organism on Earth?
The change in sea levels will prevent many organisms from migrating. Marine organisms will be the most likely to adapt.
What biological group is not dependent on photosynthesis?
All of life is dependent on photosynthesis, with the possible exception of the critters that live next to deep sea hydrothermal vents.
What is the main organisms in the ocean that perform photosynthesis?
those are algae organisms. They are major in the sea.
Do birds need the sun to survive?
WIthout the Sun, no life would survive on Earth. Earth would rapidly lose heat until all of the oceans and freshwater froze over. There woud be no light, so all organisms that perform photosynthesis would die out. Also, any organisms that directly or indirectly rely on photosynthesis either for food or oxygen would die. The only organisms that would survive would by anerobic organisms in deep sea vents, where volcanic activity would keep the water warm enough it wouldn't freeze. There would be no fish here, though, because without photosynthesis occuring near the surface, there would be no oxygen in the water for fish.
Why do marine plants grow well near ocean shores?
Plants grow in ocean to provide oxygen which diffuses into the sea water and sea animals can get it for their life. Plants only grow in the waters at points where it can be reached by sunlight. and yes it is true that it does help in the water ecosystem
To which kingdom does an organism belong if it lives in deep sea and can still perform photosynthesis Kingdom Plantae only can go up to about 30m underwater?
The kingdom Protoctista.
Why photosynthesis cannot take place in a boiled sea water?
Boiled sea water removes chlorophyll from the plant which is essential for photosynthesis
How are marine algae adapted for carrying out photosynthesis?
Yes. All green plants (and some which don't look green like many seaweeds) carry out photosynthesis. This is why photosynthetic organisms are limited to the upper layer of the sea, as light does not penetrate very far below the surface.
What organisms make most of earth's oxygen?
sea organisms
How do the phytoplankton and sea grass obtain their food?
Photosynthesis!
What are the plants in found in sea?
None as there is no light for photosynthesis!
How might different rates of photosynthesis in different light intensities affect ecosystems?
say there was a pondweed in a beaker with tonnes of light and a sea slug was put in with it they will both survive due to photosynthesis. if a pondweed was in a beaker and had no light with a sea slug the sea slug will die because the plant can't photosynthesis and will respire
Is the dead sea actually dead?
no there are micro organisms in the dead sea
What are three ways that most sea organisms get their food?
well usually most sea organisms get their food from algae in the sea and the bigger their organism the bigger their food. hope i helped
