We usually measure primary productivity in terms of the product that is produced, and it is often solid. Algae or seaweed is but one example. If a scientist wanted to measure the amount of primary product produced by a seaweed, but couldn’t measure the seaweed directly, what else could the scientist measure (from the formula you wrote in #3) to get an indirect measurement of primary production? Explain.
Â
6. If the seaweed was covered or in the dark, would photosynthesis occur? Explain.
Â
7. In what kinds of conditions (light and/or dark) does cellular respiration occur? Explain.
Â
8. Define photic zone, including its maximum depth at various places in the ocean:
coasts, mid-latitude open ocean, and tropical open ocean.
Â
9. Define euphotic zone, including its maximum (average) depth and the importance of this depth.
Â
10. Chemosynthesis is a similar but not identical process to photosynthesis, in which
primary production can operate. Write the chemical formula for chemosynthesis:
Â
11. Where in the ocean does chemosynthesis form the base of the food chain (web)?
