Why do phytoplankton live in sunlight zone?
Phytoplankton (small plants or plantlike organisms floating around in water) require the sunlight to perform photosynthesis.
What do phytoplankton use to thrive?
They use sunlight, carbon dioxide (CO2) and water, in a process called photosynthesis, to produce organic compounds which they use for food and to make their cells. One waste product is oxygen and this makes it possible for animals to live on earth.
Why is it important for phytoplankton to stay in the photic zone?
Phytoplankton must remain in the photic zone because this upper layer of water is where sunlight penetrates, enabling photosynthesis. By harnessing sunlight, phytoplankton produce oxygen and serve as the primary producers in aquatic food webs, forming the base for marine and freshwater ecosystems. Staying in this zone ensures they can efficiently convert light energy into chemical energy, supporting both their growth and the organisms that depend on them for food.
What producers are in the Neritic zone?
Producers in the neritic zone include phytoplankton, seaweed, and seagrasses. These organisms use sunlight for photosynthesis to produce energy for themselves and serve as the base of the food chain in this zone.
