As u'll go deep in a ocean the amount of light decreases. In deep oceans where light is absent chemosynthetic bacteria is found (as there is no light present for photosynthesis)
OpenStudy (praetorian.10):
yeah...
OpenStudy (praetorian.10):
so E
OpenStudy (praetorian.10):
because light cant penetrate down far
OpenStudy (abhisar):
Photic zone It extends from the surface down to a depth where light intensity falls to one percent of that at the surface, called the euphotic depth. Typical euphotic depths vary from only a few centimetres in highly turbid eutrophic lakes, to around 200 metres in the open ocean.
