Because there is no light. Sunlight doesn't reach that far down.
False.
Marine algae are photosynthetic. At depths below 200m there is very little sunlight which would make photosynthesis extremely difficult.
False.
Plant photosynthesis is the primary source of nutrients in every ecosystem. Deep in the ocean, where little or no sunlight is present, photosynthesis is impossible. Thus, organisms in deep water ecosystems depend on detritus (discarded waste) and other organic matter that drifts down from (and is generated) nearer to the surface, or on species that migrate back and forth.
The four types of Aquatic Ecosystems are - 1. Oceans are the largest of the ecosystems covering more than 70 % of the earth's surface. 2. Freshwater bodies like lakes and ponds 3. Flowing fresh water like rivers and streams 4. Wetlands with wet soil and plants that grow in this type of soil
They can't grow their because no sunlight reaches.
False.
None as there is no light for photosynthesis!
Different marine ecosystems include coral reefs, kelp forests, estuaries, mangrove forests, and deep-sea vents. These ecosystems are classified based on factors such as water depth, salinity, temperature, and the presence of specific species. Additionally, proximity to land and the amount of light available for photosynthesis also play a role in how marine ecosystems are classified.
Yes of course. Photosynthesis need light to take place. Light does not reach very deep.
If in shallow water, the plants that grow on the bottom, but if on deep water, on floating algae.
Sunlight is scarce in the deep ocean, which limits photosynthesis and primary production. This results in a lack of complex food webs and biodiversity compared to shallower regions of the ocean. Additionally, nutrient availability can be limited in deep ocean ecosystems.
you have to find the darkest patches of water to dive down in
Yes, the photic zone is present in both marine and freshwater ecosystems. It refers to the region in a body of water where there is enough sunlight for photosynthesis to occur, typically extending to a few hundred meters deep in clear waters. This zone is important for supporting primary producers and the base of the food web in aquatic environments.
Marine algae are photosynthetic. At depths below 200m there is very little sunlight which would make photosynthesis extremely difficult.
Phytoplankton have chloroplasts that contain chlorophyll, which allows them to absorb sunlight for photosynthesis. They are able to perform photosynthesis underwater because light can penetrate the water to reach them, providing the energy needed to convert carbon dioxide and water into sugars. This process helps phytoplankton produce energy and release oxygen into the water.
Ecosystems in the ocean are called marine ecosystems. They can be tidal, coastal, or deep sea. They are typically salty.
