Phytoplankton is most frequently found in which zones?
photic
Where would an ecologist find the most phytoplankton in the lake?
Photic Zone
Why is it important for zooplankton to stay in the photic zone?
Zoo planks have to stay where they are built. This is safer.
What is the similarities between zooplankton and phytoplankton?
depend on sunlght, occurs within the photic zone
What is the well lit upper layer part of the ocean is known as the?
photic zone.
What is the photic zone of the ocean-?
The photic zone of the ocean is the surface of the ocean that receives sunlight.
Portion of the marine biome that is too deep for sunlight to penetrate?
I dont know i want to know the answer myself
How do chemoautotrophs increase productivity in photic and aphotic ecosystems?
Chemoautotrophs do not increase productivity in photic zones because they reside deep down on sea floors (abyssal zone) where no light penetrates. They are, however, active in the aphotic zone where no light from the sun is visible. There, these bacteria and protozoans take both organic and inorganic compounds provided by deep sea vents and become the "algae of the photic zone". Chemoautotrophs are the primary producers in the lower aphotic zone just like algae and phytoplankton is in the photic. The vital nutrients they provide depend on the type of chemoautotroph it is.
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.
Which ocean zone does sunlight penetrate?
The epipelagic zone is the region in the ocean that is exposed to a sufficient enough amount of sunlight to allow photosynthesis to occur.
What distinguishes the photic zone from the photic zone in marine ecosystems?
photic and aphotic derive their names fron the root word photo means light that is photic and aphotic zone differ each other in amount of light reaching there photic zone is directly lit up by by solar energy while aphotic zone is perpetually dark inhabiting least amount of floran fauna
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.
