Describe the type of organisms a Pearson would find most prevalent in open water zone?
A Pearson would likely find plankton, small fish, and aquatic insects to be the most prevalent organisms in the open water zone. These organisms are well adapted to the conditions of this zone, which include limited protection from predators and exposure to sunlight. Plankton, for example, form the base of the aquatic food chain and are a critical food source for many other organisms in this zone.
How do organisms make food in the hadal zone?
Organisms in the hadal zone typically rely on chemosynthesis rather than photosynthesis to make food. This process involves using chemical energy from sources like sulfur or methane to produce organic compounds. Some organisms may also capture food particles that fall from the surface waters above.
How do organisms in aphotic zone get food?
Organisms in the aphotic zone rely on detritus, organic matter sinking from the surface, and chemosynthesis, where bacteria and other organisms use chemical compounds to produce energy. Some organisms may also migrate to the surface at night to feed on organisms that have photosynthesized during the day.
How are organisms in the photic and aphotic zones interdependent?
The organisms in the aphotic zone depend on the organisms in the photic zone above to die, then drift down into the deep to provide food for the organisms down in the deep. I believe that the dependence of the photic organisms upon the aphotic organisms has to do with the necessity of breaking down the biomaterials and recycling the nutrients back into the system.
What happens in an aphotic zone a body of water?
There is no photosynthesis
One reason why there tends to be more organisms in the photic zone than in the aphotic zone?
The photic zone, which extends from the surface of the water down to about 200 meters, receives sunlight that supports photosynthesis, allowing plants and phytoplankton to thrive. This primary production forms the foundation of the aquatic food web, attracting a diverse array of organisms, including herbivores and predators. In contrast, the aphotic zone lacks sufficient light for photosynthesis, resulting in fewer organisms and a more limited food supply. Consequently, the photic zone supports a greater abundance and variety of life compared to the aphotic zone.
Why do most organisms live in the netric zone?
Most organisms live in the neritic zone because it is the productive area of the ocean where sunlight penetrates, allowing for photosynthesis to occur. This leads to abundant food availability, making it an ideal habitat for a diverse range of marine species. Additionally, the neritic zone provides ample space and shelter for organisms to thrive.

The main climatic zone Greenland is in is the arctic to subarctic zone.
