Answer:
depth of light penetration
Explanation:
light is important in marine habitat, the distribution of organism, density and the type of organism is determined by the depth of light, the energy and how well the light can travel because most of the organism depends on light.
Green Plants, some algae and cyanobacteria survive through the production of their own food via photosynthesis. Photosynthate produced through photosynthesis is what is transported from area of production to other plant part where it is needed.
Photosynthesis can not be achieved without light penetration because light is what supplies the energy needed for the reaction.
Marine habitat refers to the distribution of organisms, plants, and aquatic animals in the oceans, seas, lakes, and ponds.
The factors such as oxygen demand and light penetration play a crucial role in determining the type and distribution of organisms in the different regions of the habitat.
Light penetration affect the marine ecosystem as:
- Plants are autotrophic organisms, as they carry out photosynthesis. They are the primary producers in the aquatic ecosystem. The plants need light to perform photosynthesis.
- Light is directly dependent on the distribution of food, as the predators require light to find the food or prey for their survival.
Thus, light penetration plays a crucial role in determining the variety and distribution of organisms at different depths.
