What else can I help you with?
What two effects might occur if most of the phytoplankton living in the world's oceans were destroyed?
One most animals who feed on it could die out ,and second we wouldn't have half of the O2 we breath in our atmosphere.
What oxygen producing organism would remain if all the forests were destroyed?
The forests are a distant second to the primary oxygen production source, which is the phytoplankton found in the world's oceans and seas.
What oxygen-producing organism would remain if all the forests were destroyed?
The forests are a distant second to the primary oxygen production source, which is the phytoplankton found in the world's oceans and seas.
Are phytoplankton heterotroph?
No, phytoplankton are not heterotrophs. They are the autotrophic components of the plankton community and a key factor of oceans, seas and freshwater basins ecosystems
Why do some oceans appear blue while others appear green?
The color of the ocean appears blue or green based on the amount of phytoplankton and the depth of the water. Oceans with less phytoplankton and deeper water tend to appear blue, while those with more phytoplankton and shallower water tend to appear green.
Deforestation kills many organisms that produce oxygen. What oxygen-producing organisms would remain if all the forests were destroyed?
plankton
What is the percentage of Biomass produced by plants in oceans accounts for?
Approximately 70% of the biomass produced by plants in oceans is accounted for by phytoplankton. Phytoplankton are tiny, photosynthetic organisms that form the base of the marine food chain and play a crucial role in marine ecosystems.
How does intense UV radiation affect the oceans phytoplankton?
Intense UV radiation can damage the DNA in phytoplankton cells, potentially leading to decreased growth and productivity. This stress can also impact the species composition of phytoplankton communities in the ocean. UV radiation can therefore have negative effects on the overall health and diversity of phytoplankton populations.
What are tiny organisms that float in the oceans and make their own food through the process of photosynthesis called?
They are called phytoplankton. These microscopic algae are crucial to the marine food web as they serve as the primary producers, converting sunlight into energy through photosynthesis.
Is phytoplankton in the Pacific Ocean?
Yes they do. Plankton inhabit oceans, seas and freshwater bodies such as lakes and ponds.
Where does the bulk of atmospheric oxygen originate from?
The bulk of atmospheric oxygen originates from photosynthesis by plants and phytoplankton in the oceans.
When was Living Oceans Society created?
Living Oceans Society was created in 1998.
