Emperor penguins in Antarctica can go without sunlight for about two months during the winter.
What else can I help you with?
Can photosynthesis occur without sunlight?
No, photosynthesis cannot occur without sunlight.
How do indoor plants grow without water and sunlight?
Indoor plants cannot grow without water and sunlight. Water is necessary for photosynthesis – the process plants use to convert light into energy. Sunlight is also crucial for stimulating growth and providing the energy needed for overall plant health.
Can a bean plant grow without sunlight but with fertilizer and water?
Seed can germinate with very less sunlight and by absorbing nutrients from the soil. However, sunlight is very important if a seed has to grow into a plant. Without sunlight there is no life.
Does photosynthetic bateria need sunlight to live?
Photosynthetic bacteria, like plants, are photoautotrophs, meaning they utilize sunlight and carbon dioxide to produce food. These type of bacteria will eventually die without the presence of sunlight.
Which process involves making glucose without energy from the sunlight?
Gluconeogenesis is the process of synthesizing glucose from non-carbohydrate sources, such as amino acids or glycerol, without the need for energy from sunlight.
Are penguins nearly extinct?
No, the Emperor Penguin is not extinct. They live on the Antarctic ice, hunting and living in the waters of that general area. The Emperor Penguin is listed on the IUCN Red List with a status of "least concern", but without a population trend posted. For more details, see sites listed below.
How do male emperor penguins survive without food for so long?
They drinl alot
How can you prevent penguins in Antarctica from becoming extinct without going to Antarctica?
The penguins that breed on the Antarctic continent -- the Emperors and the Adelies -- are not endangered. These animals are sea birds and live at sea.
How long can emperor penguins go without food?
Emperor penguins can go up to several weeks without food. They have the ability to fast for extended periods by relying on their fat stores for energy during the harsh winter months in Antarctica when food is scarce.
Why are there fewer male emperor penguins than females?
There are fewer male emperor penguins because they have a higher mortality rate during the incubation period. Males must withstand harsh Antarctic conditions for an extended period without feeding, leading to higher susceptibility to starvation and predation. Additionally, females return to the breeding colony to care for the chick while males remain on the ice, further increasing their exposure to threats.
How much sunlight does something south of the Antarctic Circle get?
Your answer depends on where you are south of the Antarctic Circle -- 66 degrees S to the South Pole: 90 degrees S. There are 1,656 miles or 2,664 km between those two points of latitude. As well, it depends on the time of year, because the sunlight length every day is different. At the South Pole, for example, there are six months of sunlight and six months without sunlight. At the Antarctic Circle, there is one day -- December 21, with no sunset, and one day -- June 21, with no sunrise.
How many miles a day do penguins walk?
Penguins walk varying miles per day. Penguins have been known to swim over 100 miles to obtain food. They can survive for a month without eating.
What are the challenges of a emperor penguin?
The males have to protect the eggs from coldness of antarctica for two months straight without eating. Most of them lose about 12kg of their body weight during this time. Emperor penguins breed in extreme cold environment with high winds. In 2012 emperor penguins got status "near threatened" by IUCN. Climate change and fishing has made it more difficult for them to find food. Humans also disturb their colonies.
Can photosynthesis occur without sunlight?
No, photosynthesis cannot occur without sunlight.
What country has no sun light?
Sweden is the country that has next to no sunlight in 1999 they only had 20 minutes of sunlight in December, this is the closest a country has to no sunlight. Also the reason why Sweden has such a high suicide rate !
Why is antarctica colder then Atlantic?
The Antarctic region is much colder than the Atlantic region for two main reasons: 1. The Antarctic receives a lot less sunlight. The earth's axis is on a tilt, which causes seasons as the earth travels around the sun. During the antarctic winter, much of the region goes without sunlight for many months at a time. 2. The Antarctic region is at a very low angle relative to the sun's light. The equator receives the sun's light at about a 90 degree angle, or straight on. This means the full force of the light hits the surface of the earth. At the poles however, the low angle means the light hits the surface of the earth with much less intensity, so what little sunlight the Arctic gets isn't very strong.
Do plants grow better in sunlight or no sunlight?
sunlight because plants can`t grow without sunlight
