Photosynthesis occurs in the first 200 feet of the ocean with most of it occurring just below the surface. In tropical waters much occurs inside of corals. The corals protect the algae from predators and the algae provides the coral with food. Jelly fish also have a symbiotic relationship with algae. However turtles graze on jellyfish so the relationship is not perfect.

∙ 13y agoAll photosynthesis occurs in the photic zone -- the top area of the ocean lit by the sun. No photosynthesis occurs below the photic zone (the aphotic zone) where the sunlight cannot penetrate.

∙ 11y agoPhotosynthesis can occur from bacterium i.e. the green sulfur bacteria which use the low-light that are produced from hydrothermal vents. I do not know the scientific name for that bacterium are called, sorry. But it is possible for that bacterium to produce its own energy from photosynthesis.

Why does photosynthesis need to happen?
photosynethesis needs to happen beacause in order for the animals and the humans to livewe need photosynthesis or this to happen.
Where does 80 percent of Earth's photosynthetic activity happen?
Photosynthesis takes place wherever there plants, algae, or photosynthetic bacteria and sunlight. More than 50% of the total planetary photosynthesis is believed to take place in the oceans where there are massive numbers of photosynthetic plankton, algae and bacteria. Although land based plants are important, they do not do as much photosynthesis as the ocean-based organisms.
Where does photosynthesis happen in the cell?
chloroplast
What portion of the ocean is photosynthesis confined to?
The sunlit portion
What will happen when the light in photosynthesis is over supply?
If the light is over, photosynthesis process will stop.
What does photosynthesis not occur very deep in the ocean?
Because it just doesn't happen.
Does most photosynthesis happen in land plants or in water plants in the ocean?
land and water ahahahahahah
Why does photosynthesis need to happen?
photosynethesis needs to happen beacause in order for the animals and the humans to livewe need photosynthesis or this to happen.
Who performs photosynthesis in the ocean?
Phytoplankton.
What might happen if sun and moon disappear?
photosynthesis would stop,temperature will drop to zero,ocean surfaces would freeze,extinction human etc
Does photosynthesis happen in all plant cells?
No, Photosynthesis happen only in those plant cells having chloroplasts.

How does the photosynthesis process happen?
It need chloroplasts to happen. it is-happening inside them.
What has to happen for photosynthesis to occur?
Plants take in sunlight and carbon dioxide and it makes photosynthesis
What will happen when the light in photosynthesis is over supply?
If the light is over, photosynthesis process will stop.
