How eutrophication can change an aquatic ecosystem into a land ecosystem?
Some changes that can occur in the aquatic ecosystem as a result of nutrient loading is called algal bloom. This is where there is a rapid increase of growth of phytoplankton which causes dead zones. These dead zones consume too much oxygen where plants and sea life can no longer survive in these areas.
Which zone of the aquatic ecosystem tends to have more life?
The photic zone of the aquatic ecosystem tends to have more life, as it is the upper layer of water where sunlight penetrates, enabling photosynthesis. This zone includes the surface waters of oceans, lakes, and rivers, supporting a diverse array of plants, phytoplankton, and various aquatic organisms that rely on these primary producers for food. In contrast, deeper zones receive little to no light, resulting in less biological activity.
Is Phytoplankton considered marine life?
Yes, phytoplankton is considered marine life. They are microscopic organisms that live in aquatic environments like oceans and seas, playing a critical role in the marine ecosystem as primary producers at the base of the food chain.
Usually a river fill in blank here at its source compared to farther downstream A has less phytoplankton B is murkier C is warmer D flows more slowly E is wider?
A. has less phytoplankton. Rivers generally have higher concentrations of phytoplankton and other aquatic life downstream as nutrients accumulate and flow from tributaries into the main channel.
Why are phytoplankton important to life?
phytoplankton provide most of the oxygen to earth.
How do UV rays penetrate water and affect aquatic life?
UV rays penetrate water and can harm aquatic life by damaging their DNA, causing mutations, and affecting their growth and reproduction. UV rays can also disrupt the food chain by harming phytoplankton and other organisms at the base of the food web.
Which aquatic body is the most productive ecosystem?
fish
What is the relationship between sunlight and sea life?
the relationship is that seens phytoplankton need sunlight to survive and phytoplankton are the base of the food chain they connect to sun to phytoplankton to other sea life
Water has sufficient dissolved oxygen to sustain aquatic life?
The dissolved oxygen in water is essential for the survival of aquatic organisms as they rely on it for respiration. Adequate levels of dissolved oxygen support healthy ecosystems by promoting biodiversity and maintaining the overall balance of the aquatic environment. Monitoring and maintaining dissolved oxygen levels is crucial in preserving water quality and supporting aquatic life.
What food primarily supports ocean life?
Phytoplankton, which is a microscopic and autotrophic organism. There are trillions of phytoplankton in the ocean.
Is zooplankton a plant?
Plankton can be plant or animal life - but the plant type of plankton is called phytoplankton, and some of those plants are in fact, green in color.See the 'Diatom' related link listed below for pictures of the green colored type of phytoplankton.
Can you use distilled water in a fish tank for fish and turtles?
This is not possible as the required minerals essential for the growth of aquatic life would be absent.
