What are Benthos?

Benthos There are animals that live at sea or under the seabed, in the so -called Bentic zone. They can be contrasted with plankton that are freely floating. Some common animals Benthos are different sea worms (especially Polychhate annelids), seaweed (type flowering plants), clams, oysters, sea cucumbers (Echinoderm type), fragile stars, sea anemons, sea stars, sea stars), nudibranchs), name, name, name, name, name and name and name. Few.

Along with the Macroscopic Benthos Listed Above Are Extremely Abundant Microscopic Benthos, Including Water Bears (Tardigrades), Nematodes Foraminifera (Common Protists), Diatoms, and Assorted Amoeboids, Ciliates, and Biking. Because light tends to be poorer on the seabed than on the surface and almost missing at depths below 200 m (656 ft), the Bentos base chain focuses more on dead animals and plantsThey fall from above than on active photosynthesis.

Benthic organisms cover the entire surface of the oceans, although they are much more rare in places outside the continental shelves. Some Benthos are adapted to life near the coast, even in an intermediate area where, due to special adaptation, for hours can be kept out of the water for hours. Others, such as sea cucumbers, are adapted to life in the darkest depths of the oceans. Benthos Deep Sea is one of the most unusual and includes unicellular organisms across the inch across the thumb that is able to leave traces, giant seasan up to 2 m (6 ft) across and giant isopods (related to pills) of cat size. Some of these benthic organisms are very misunderstood and research is carried out.

All organisms in the world are completely dependent on Benthic organisms to survive. These organisms wake up and consumeThe carcass bodies that sink to the bottom and secrete them like feces that dissolve into nutrients that are re -transferred to the surface when they increase. In this way, the carbon does not stand on the bottom of the ocean without being transferred again. Otherwise, within millions of years, all the world's carbon would be sequential in the Deep Sea, which would not be any for any form of life.
