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
Are there living organism live in the aphotic zone?
Yes. Creatures and plants which do not require sunlight for photosynthetic respiration - especially those involved with decomposition live in the aphotic zone.
Does algae grow in the photic or aphotic zone?
Algae is a plant, therefore it needs light. The photic zone has light, so that is where algae will grow. actually algae are of diffrent types red, brown green and yellow. Green algae and brown algae(stipe and frond) are usually in photic zone however red algae and bluegreen algae also inhabit aphotic zone On account of presence of pigments r-phycocyanin and r-phycoerythrin red algae can also absorb diffused UV light so can also prepare food in aphotic zone
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
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
What is aphotic zone?
The bottom zone of ocean life, where there is no light.
Which zone of the ocean does sunlight never reach?
Aphotic zone.
