In the abyssal zone, the primary source of energy is chemosynthesis, a process used by certain bacteria that convert chemical compounds, such as hydrogen sulfide released from hydrothermal vents, into organic matter. This contrasts with photosynthesis, which dominates in shallower waters where sunlight penetrates. Organisms in the abyssal zone rely on these chemosynthetic bacteria for food, forming the base of the food web in this dark and extreme environment. Additionally, some energy comes from the organic matter that sinks down from upper ocean layers.
What else can I help you with?
What are the three main parts of the sun?
The three main parts of the Sun are the core, radiative zone, and convective zone. The core is where nuclear fusion occurs, producing the Sun's energy. The radiative zone is where energy is transported by electromagnetic radiation, and the convective zone is where energy is transported by convection currents.
What is the layer of the sun through which energy travels by convection from the radiative zone to the atmosphere?
From the Sun's core, energy moves through the radiative zone, across the tachocline (transition layer) to the convective zone, and then to the outer convective zone with its visible granulation.
What is the meaning of radiation zone?
The radiation zone is a region in the interior of a star where energy is transported outward by electromagnetic radiation, primarily in the form of photons. In this zone, energy is carried through the star's layers by the absorption and re-emission of photons. The radiation zone is located between the core and the convection zone of a star.
In which region of the Sun does energy move as waves that transfer from atom to atom photosphere corona core radiative zone chromosphere convective zone?
The portion of the sun in which energy moves from atom to atom in the form of waves is called the?
Layer that surrounds the radiation zone of the sun?
The layer that surrounds the radiation zone of the sun is the convection zone. In this zone, energy is transferred by the movement of hot plasma rising and cooler plasma sinking, creating a convection current. This process allows energy to be transported from the core to the surface of the sun.
What is the abyssal zone?
The abyssal zone is the region of the deep ocean that is just above and on the ocean floor.
What zone does the fangtooth live in?
in the abyssal zone
Why don't plants grow in the abyssal zone or the hadal zone?
Plants need light to grow, in the abyssal/hadal zone, there is no light.
Is the midnight zone deeper than the abyssal zone?
no
How do abyssal zone creature navigate in the darkness?
Some of them are blind. and the other animals have their own light source; One of them is the Dragonfish.
What is the permanently dark zone of the ocean?
The midnight zone and the abyssal zone
What is pelagi zone euphotic zone benthic zone and abyssal zone?
Zones in the ocean.
Are there plants in the Abyssal Zone?
No, there are typically no plants in the Abyssal Zone due to the lack of sunlight for photosynthesis. Plants rely on sunlight to produce energy, so this extreme deep-sea environment does not support plant life.
Does the leatherback sea turtle live in the abyssal zone?
No, since the Abyssal zone is way too dark and too high pressure for the turtles.
What zone in the ocean is least likely to have photosynthetic organisms?
Abyssal zone
Do any abyssal zone animals go to the photic zone?
yes
Why do you think tube worms in the abyssal zone live around black smokers?
Tube worms in the abyssal zone live around black smokers because these hydrothermal vents release mineral-rich, superheated water that supports chemosynthetic bacteria. These bacteria convert chemicals like hydrogen sulfide into energy, providing a reliable food source for the tube worms in an otherwise nutrient-scarce environment.
