Instructions: In the Ocean Zones Lab, you explored organism adaptations that help them survive best in a particular habitat and observed how changing some of the factors in the ocean affects the organisms that live there. Record your observations in the lab report below. You will submit your completed report. (30 points possible)

Name and Title: (1 point) Miroslav. 08/03/24 Mrs. Kennedy.

Include your name, teacher's name, date, and name of lab.

Objective(s): (2 points)
In your own words, what was the purpose of this lab?

Hypothesis: (5 points)
Write your hypothesis by completing the if/then statements below for each of the 5 trials.

Trial 1: Anglerfish in high light levels vs. low light levels
If the light in the habitat is increased, then the anglerfish will have a (higher/lower) health rating. A lower health rating because in the deep sea there is only a little light.

The photic and aphotic zones in the ocean differ in light penetration, affecting the types of organisms present. Light decreases as one goes deeper, impacting the distribution of marine life. The photic zone supports more diverse life forms due to sunlight availability.

Explanation:

Photic Zone: It is the upper layer of a body of water where there is sufficient sunlight for photosynthesis to occur, supporting a wide variety of marine life.

Aphotic Zone: This is the deeper, darker layer of the ocean where sunlight cannot penetrate, resulting in a lack of photosynthesis and a different set of adapted organisms.

Organisms: Going down in a submarine, one would see decreasing light levels and fewer plants but increased bioluminescent organisms. The most life forms are typically found in the photic zone due to the availability of sunlight supporting diverse marine life.
