Why is light necessary for the survival of the green algae and the animals in the ecosphere?
Because without it the green algae would not be able to photosynthesis and would eventually die. This would mean that there would be no oxygen (O2) being produced for the animals as well as their food (Glucose C6H12O6) supply being cut.
Can an artificial light hurt hamsters?
Well yes and no. It can get stunned. But it can not die. From, Kennedy age 11
Excess fertilizers from fields that wash into rivers and streams can cause algae to overgrow. What is the main problem of this?
Algae blocks out light, causing other water plants to die

How does algae affect living things?
algae creates more than 75% of the worlds oxygen; without algae no it would be harder to breathe cause people to pretty much die because of the lack of oxygen
How might algae growth near the surface of a pond affect living organisms living in the pond?
The algae will reduce both air and light causing the organisms in the pond to die.
What causes algae to die?
Lack of sunlight or nutrients. Algae is essentially a type of plant. Think about typical household plants, if they don't have water, soil, or sunlight, they will die. But algae, unlike household plants, typically live in a body of water, so a lack of water normally is not a cause of death for them. Normally, algae die because there is not enough sunlight or nutrients, possibly because of an algae bloom (too much algae that use up sunlight and nutrients).
How long can algae survive without sunlight in water storage tank?
Algae can survive without sunlight for varying lengths of time, typically ranging from a few days to several weeks, depending on the species and environmental conditions. In a water storage tank, some algae may enter a dormant state, allowing them to withstand periods of darkness. However, they will eventually die off without light, as photosynthesis is essential for their growth and energy production. Factors like water temperature and nutrient availability also influence their survival duration.
Is some algae necessary in a healthy pond?
Yes, it is because without any algae some living animals in the pond would die. Algae can be food for some creatures in the pond. If your pond is just for admiring and not for living creatures, no, it isn't because the algae will take over the pond and no living creature is in it to eat the algae.
How do oil spills affect algae?
algae will eventually die.
Why can't algae live without fungus in lichen?
Algae in lichens are not able to survive on their own because they lack protective structures and mechanisms to thrive in harsh environments. The fungus provides a stable environment and protection for the algae, while the algae perform photosynthesis to provide nutrients for both organisms. This mutualistic relationship is essential for the survival of both partners in lichens.
Would we die without visible light?
yes
