What are the differences between an aphotic zone and an euphotic zone?
Euphotic & Aphotic zonesEuphotic zone : is the upper layer of water that receives light and thus photothensythesis is possibleAphotic zone : is the portion of ocean that is not exposed to sunlight , and extends from - 0,9 - 4.6 kmEuphotic & Aphotic zonesEuphotic zone : is the upper layer of water that receives light and thus photothensythesis is possibleAphotic zone : is the portion of ocean that is not exposed to sunlight , and extends from - 0,9 - 4.6 km
Which zone has been the most difficult for marine biologists to explore?
aphotic zone
The permanetly dark zone below the photic zone is called the?
The permanently dark zone below the photic zone is called the aphotic zone. In this region, sunlight is unable to penetrate deep enough for photosynthesis to occur, resulting in a lack of primary production by plants. Organisms in this zone rely on alternative energy sources, such as detritus and chemosynthesis.
Why are you not likely to find zooplankton in the aphotic and benthic zone?
Zooplankton require sunlight for photosynthesis to occur, which is not available in the aphotic zone. Additionally, the benthic zone is the seafloor region where zooplankton would not typically dwell due to lack of nutrients and food sources, as well as potential predation risks.
Does algae grow in the photic or aphotic zone?
Algae is a plant, therefore it needs light. The photic zone has light, so that is where algae will grow. actually algae are of diffrent types red, brown green and yellow. Green algae and brown algae(stipe and frond) are usually in photic zone however red algae and bluegreen algae also inhabit aphotic zone On account of presence of pigments r-phycocyanin and r-phycoerythrin red algae can also absorb diffused UV light so can also prepare food in aphotic zone
What is the aphotic zone?
Aphotic zone is the area of a lake or an ocean which gets little or no sunshine throughout the year.
What distinguishes the photic zone from the aphotic zone in an aquatic zone?
Photic = where there's light Aphotic = where there isn't light, deeper waters.
What distinguishes the photic zone from the zone aphotic zone in an aquatic ecosystem?
Photic = where there's light Aphotic = where there isn't light, deeper waters.
What is the aphotic zone and what plants and animals live there?
Aphotic = no light so it is the zone below the depth of where light can penetrate. Depends on several things. The clarity of the water. less stuff in the water the farther light can go. There are no plants in the aphotic zone. Generally, there is less oxygen (and sometimes none) in the aphotic zone, but some animals can be found there. It depends on how deep this zone is and how well mixed the water column is.
What zone does the desert live in?
The desert 'lives' nowhere. It is not a living organism but is the home to many living organisms - plants and animals.
What happens in an aphotic zone a body of water?
There is no photosynthesis
Difference between photic zone and aphotic zone?
Photic Zone: part of the ocean that receives sunlight Aphotic Zone: area in an ocean where sunlight does not reach and photosynthesis does not occur
Explain why the photic and aphotic zone of marine biomes are interdependent?
Since the aphotic zone does not receive sunlight it relys on the photic zone for the sunlight which in terms it does penetrate.
What distinguishes the photic zone From the aphotic zone IN an aquatic ecosystems?
Photic = where there's light Aphotic = where there isn't light, deeper waters.
The permanently dark zone below the photic zone is called what?
this could be the aphotic zone where only 1% of the surface light reaches. The Bethnic zone is the VERY bottom and is basically the sediment zone.
In which zone of the ocean are bioluminescent organisms found?
* Aphotic Zone
Which zone of the ocean does sunlight never reach?
Aphotic zone.
