What adaptations do plankton have to help them avoid sinking below the photic zone?
Plankton have adaptations such as small size, buoyancy control mechanisms like gas-filled chambers or oil droplets, and slow sinking rates to help them stay afloat in the photic zone. Some plankton species also have appendages or structures that increase surface area and help them remain suspended in the water column.
Why is life abundant in the photic zone?
