light energy is not strong enough! <--NovaNet
Green plants require sunlight for photosynthesis. Light penetration in oceans decreases with depth, and beyond 100 meters the sunlight is insufficient for green plants to carry out photosynthesis. As a result, green plants are not able to survive below the 100-meter depth in oceans.
Seaweed, seagrass, kelp, green algae, red algae and brown algae are six commonly-known ocean plants. Plants, or producers, are vital to the health of ocean ecosystems and serve as a food source to higher organisms.
plants that live in the ocean. They are living plants.
Plants in the ocean are mostly microscopic in size because being small allows them to maximize their surface area for nutrient absorption and light capture. This is important in the ocean where resources are limited. Additionally, being small helps these plants to better withstand ocean currents and turbulence.
Aquatic plants under high salinity conditions.
Not enough light penetrates to allow photosynthesis.
because they need the sunlight
obama is green
If they are green, then yes.
no

Plants are green because of pigments, including chlorophylls, that absorb light for photosynthesis. In deep parts of the ocean, where it is always dark, photosynthesis cannot take place (there is no light), so there is no need for these green pigments in plants that may exist there. Therefore any plants that do exist there would not be green, as production of chlorophylls would be a waste of energy and resources.
it has so many plants because the plants can do photosynthesis. unlike in the deep ocean with no sunlight
As the number of plants that photosynthesize increased, the rocks in the ocean became covered with these primitive plants. They looked green due to the presence of the plants.
Spider plants cannot thrive in an ocean environment because they are terrestrial plants that require soil to grow. They would not be able to survive in the salty water of the ocean.
Salinity vs. depth profiles are different in different parts of the ocean, so there is really no one correct answer to this question.
