Photosynthetic organisms occur at different depths in the ocean. Do they receive qualitatively and quantitatively the same light? How do they adapt to carry out photosynthesis under these conditions?

Solution:

They do not receive the same amount of light in terms of both quality and quantity. The importance of solar radiation in living cannot be overstated. The photosynthetic pigments of these organisms differ significantly. These pigments aid photosynthesis in these species even in low light situations.
