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 is the portion of the marine biome that is too deep for sunlight to penetrate?
aphotic zone
What is aphotic zone?
The aphotic zone is the deepest part of the ocean where sunlight cannot reach. It is characterized by complete darkness and is home to various deep-sea organisms that have adapted to survival without light. The aphotic zone starts below the photic zone, which is the upper layer of the ocean where sunlight can penetrate.
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
Which zone of the ocean does sunlight never reach?
Aphotic zone.
Does the sun penetrates the aphotic zone of a marine biome?
no it does not the darkness of the water is so far down that the sunlight cannot reach the bottem of the marine biome
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
What are general characteristics for aphotic zone?
The aphotic zone is the deep ocean layer where sunlight cannot penetrate. It is characterized by extremely low light levels, high pressure, cold temperatures, and absence of photosynthetic plants due to lack of sunlight. Organisms in this zone have adapted to survive in these extreme conditions, often relying on bioluminescence for communication and hunting.
Are there living organism live in the aphotic zone?
Yes, there are living organisms that inhabit the aphotic zone, which is the deep, dark region of the ocean where sunlight does not penetrate. These organisms have adapted to survive in the absence of sunlight by relying on other sources of energy, such as chemosynthesis or consuming organic matter that drifts down from the sunlit surface waters. Examples of organisms found in the aphotic zone include deep-sea fish, cephalopods, and various types of invertebrates.
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.
What are the depths for the aphotic zone?
The aphotic zone is the depth of a lake or ocean where less than 1% of sunlight reaches. In the ocean it begins around 650-3,000 feet, but it depends on water conditions (how dark or murky the water is).
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.
