Every animal and plant life on the ocean floor has special adaptations on its body and in its surroundings.
Many dead ocean organisms sink to the ocean floor and become part of the sediment. There, they can be broken down by bacteria and other decomposers, or may become fossilized over time. Some dead organisms may also be consumed by scavengers and other organisms in the food chain.
Archae are decomposers that commonly feed on dead decaying organisms. They are often found at the bottom of the ocean floor.
The benthic zone is the lowest level of a body of water, such as a lake or ocean, where organisms live on or in the sediment at the bottom. It is an important habitat for a variety of organisms, including bacteria, worms, and bottom-dwelling fish, and plays a key role in nutrient recycling and overall ecosystem health.
either eat sunlight directly (photosynthesis)or eat sunlight indirectly (eat plants, or eat animals which have eaten plants etc etc)or derive nutrients from stone (lithotrophic bacteria) or chemicals (chemotrophic bacteria)or derive nutrients and heat from hot ocean vents at the bottom of the sea
Benthic algae are algae that grow on the bottom sediments of fresh and salt waterbodies. Benthic algae are most commonly filamentous or colonial forms, but also may be microscopic single-celled organisms. Benthic algae perform various beneficial functions. Benthic algae provide food and habitat for many aquatic organisms. In this way they contribute to the biological productivity of aquatic systems.
All organisms adapt to their environment through the process of evolution
No, humans cannot live in the ocean and adapt to its unique environment without specialized equipment or technology.
Bottom feeders.
bottom of sea/ocean in water
There are certain organisms which have adapted to the ocean floor environment. Together, these organisms make up an ecosystem.
benthic environment
Organisms that live above the ocean floor are apart of the pelagic environment
plankton-organisms that drift with ocean currents. nekton-are free swimmers. they are able to move through the ocean waters in search of food. benthos-are bottom dwellers. organisms that live on or below the ocean bottom
