Photic = where there's light Aphotic = where there isn't light, deeper waters.
What distinguishes the photic zone from the zone aphotic zone in an aquatic ecosystem?
Photic = where there's light Aphotic = where there isn't light, deeper waters.
What distinguishes the photic zone From the aphotic zone IN an aquatic ecosystems?
Photic = where there's light Aphotic = where there isn't light, deeper waters.
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 distinguishes the photic zone from the aphotic zone in marine ecosystems?
photic and aphotic derive their names fron the root word photo means light that is photic and aphotic zone differ each other in amount of light reaching there photic zone is directly lit up by by solar energy while aphotic zone is perpetually dark inhabiting least amount of floran fauna

The ocean zones based on light penetration are the?
photic zone and aphotic zone
What is an example of the photic zone of the ocean but not characteristic of an aphotic zone?
An example of the photic aone would be like a sea shore, coral reef, or sand bar. Although an example for an aphotic zone would be the depths of the ocean or the abyss.
