Bioluminescence
This fish has a "light" made from bioluminescent bacteria to find prey in the dark.
Anglerfish
This process involves making energy using sunlight.
Photosynthesis
This zone is the highest in the water column and gets the most sunlight.
Epipelagic (Sunlight) Zone
This abiotic factor is measured in degrees (C or F). Some adaptations to survive this is blubber, fur, and slow metabolisms (use less energy).
Temperature
This invertebrate does not have bones or organs, but it is bioluminescent!
Jellyfish
This process involves making energy with chemicals in the environment.
Chemosynthesis
This zone is one of the deepest zones (1000 to 4000 meters deep) with no sunlight. It is home to many species that use bioluminescence.
Bathypelagic (Midnight) Zone
This abiotic factor is measured in pounds per square inch (PSI) and requires adaptations such as jelly-like bodies and collapsing lungs to survive.
Pressure
This invertebrate has bioluminescent organs and is dark red to survive in dark, cold waters.
Vampire squid
Plants and surface algae do which process to make sugar for energy?
Photosynthesis
This zone is between 200 and 1000 meters deep with very little light. It is home to many species of squid and jellyfish.
Mesopelagic (Twilight) Zone
This abiotic factor is necessary for the circulatory system of animals to function. When low, some adaptations that species can have are larger red blood cells and larger gill surface areas to survive.
