Summary Introduction

To distinguish:

Between the aphotic and photic zones of the ocean.

Introduction:

The aquatic biomes provide appropriate temperatures and abundant water. In aquatic ecosystems, as the depth of ocean increases, sunlight decreases.

Summary Introduction

To determine:

How the photic zone’s organisms obtain nutrients.

Introduction:

There are aphotic and photic zones in the marine biomes. Photic zones are the shallow water zones.

Summary Introduction

To determine:

How the aphotic zone’s organisms obtain nutrients.

Introduction:

There are aphotic and photic zones in the marine biomes. Aphotic zones are the areas that are present below the photic zones.
