1 How do marine organisms use light?

2 Light penetration in the photic zone oceanexplorer.noaa.gov What do you notice? What do you wonder?

3 oceanexplorer.noaa.gov Open waterCoastal water Light penetration in the photic zone

4 oceanexplorer.noaa.gov Red light penetrates water the least Blue and green light penetrate water the most

5 How do marine organisms use light? Sunlight is needed for photosynthesis (primary production to support food webs) Light for animals to see –Finding food –Avoiding predators –Finding mates

6 Why is water blue? Or, why is a red fish red? Why is green algae green? Why is a purple urchin purple?

7 Why is water blue? What are the wavelengths of light? sun

8 Why is water blue? Which wavelengths of light can we see? sun X infrared X ultraviolet

9 Why is water blue? Which wavelengths of light can we see? sun

10 Why is water blue? sun Blue water absorbs all light waves except blue

11 Why is a red fish red?
