What else can I help you with?
Why do creatures living in the twilight and midnight zones need to create their own light with bioluminescence?
sunlight doesnt penetrate that deep.
Why do deep sea fish have large eyes?
Down at those depths, there is very little light. Large eyes are able to channel and focus what little light there might be. Evolution have granted those deep sea living creatures with larger eyes over the time. At very deep depths, there is no sunlight at all. It is all filtered away by the water/ocean above. Still some organisms and even fish are able to make light. They often do this to attract prey, but can them selves become prey to those able to see.
What are sources for light?
Sunlight Moonlight (the reflection of sunlight off the moon) electricity fire starsbio-luminescence (fireflies, deep ocean creatures and glow-sticks) A baby's smile An angelic voice A first real kiss Dawn on new-fallen snow.
Can deep sea creatures see in the dark?
After just a few hundred metres there is very little light. Most deep sea creatures have very large eyes that can detect any light that is available. Even though there is virtually no light coming from the surface lots of deep sea creatures produce light through a process called bioluminescence. It is useful to be able to see this light as if you eat the light, you will be eating the creature that it is attached to. Unfortunately some creatures use these lights to draw in their own dinner!
What are the key zones and organisms in an ocean biosystem?
Key zones in an ocean biosystem include the surface zone where most sunlight penetrates, the twilight zone where light diminishes, and the deep zone where no sunlight reaches. Organisms in these zones include phytoplankton, zooplankton, fish, marine mammals, and deep-sea creatures like anglerfish and grenadiers.
Why is there no light in the midnight zone of the ocean?
Because it is so far deep only 1% of light gets through
Which light zone does a hagfish live in?
Hagfish are deep-sea creatures that predominantly inhabit the aphotic zone, which is the deepest and darkest part of the ocean where little to no sunlight penetrates. They are typically found at depths ranging from a few hundred to several thousand meters below the surface.
What organism does not require sunlight to live?
Some deep-sea creatures like tubeworms and certain bacteria do not rely on sunlight for their energy. They instead use a process called chemosynthesis to produce energy from chemicals found in their deep-sea environments.
Does the deep layer of the ocean get sunlight?
no because its to low that's why a lot of fish have a light to there head
Do the deep oceans have plants?
I would think not because sunlight can approximately reach down around 200 meters. The deep oceans are pitch black. There are no plants, but there still is life. There are bio luminescent creatures.
Where can creatures that can make their own light live?
They live deep deep under alot of water, at rock bottom, were the water is not blue it is a dark black color.
Creatures that use light producing features to lure prey?
The Gulper eel, Deep sea Angler, and lanterfish.
