What is the well lit upper layer part of the ocean is known as the?
photic zone.
What is the layer of freshwater or slat water ecosystem that receives the most sunlight called?
Photic zone
The well lit upper layer of bodies of water where photosynthesis can take place is called?
Photic Zone
What are facts about the Photic Zone?
The photic zone is the uppermost layer of the ocean where sunlight can penetrate, allowing photosynthesis to occur. It is home to a wide variety of marine life, from plankton to fish and even some larger mammals like whales. The depth of the photic zone can vary depending on the clarity of the water, but it typically extends down to around 200 meters.
Why is life abundant in the photic zone?
Life is abundant in the photic zone because it receives sunlight, which is essential for photosynthesis. Photosynthetic organisms like phytoplankton use sunlight to produce energy, leading to a rich food supply that supports a diverse ecosystem of marine organisms ranging from algae to fish.
What type of animals live in the photic zone?
The uppermost layer of the world's oceans that receive sunlight during the daytime is called the photic zone. The depth of this zone depends on the clarity or murkiness of the water. In clear water, the photic zone can be quite deep; in murky water, it can be only 50 feet deep. On average, it extends to about 660 feet. Animals that live in the photic zone are plants, such as free-floating algae, sea weeds, etc. Zooplankton, most ocean fish, sea turtles, seals, etc. Bottom-dwellers such as starfish and sea shells live in the photic zone too. This zone is defined in terms of light, not depth.
The well lit upper layer of bodies of water where photosynthesis can take place is?
Photic Zone
Is photosynthesis limited to the well-lit upper layer of the ocean which scientists refer to as the oceanic zone?
False, it's the Photic Zone.
What is the photic zone fo the ocean?
the photic zone is the place where 90% of under water sea life lives. it also has the most sunlight. because it is the top of the layers of the ocean.
What are the differences between an aphotic zone and an euphotic zone?
The aphotic zone is the deep part of the ocean where sunlight cannot penetrate, resulting in complete darkness. The euphotic zone is the upper layer of the ocean where there is enough sunlight for photosynthesis to occur, supporting a high concentration of marine life.
What is the photic zone of the ocean-?
The photic zone of the ocean is the surface of the ocean that receives sunlight.
Portion of the marine biome that is too deep for sunlight to penetrate?
I dont know i want to know the answer myself
