The two distinct ways used by aquatic prototroph for maximizing light access through subcellular structures also, mention the ways used by aerobes for remaining close to the surface, with access to air. Introduction: Prototrophs are the organisms that use sunlight along with several inorganic materials as their source of energy. It is one of the classifications of autotrophs that synthesize their food by using sunlight. Aquatic phototrophs are the phototrophic organisms that are present in water like sea, ocean, river, and lakes.

How many photons are produced on average by the bacteria Vibrio Campellii, dinoflagellates and luciferin? Which one would emit the most light and by how much is the difference in photons?

"Watermelon snow" in Antarctica is caused by a species of photosynthetic green algae that thrives in subzero temperatures (Chlamydomonas nivalis). These algae are also found in high altitude in year-round snowfields. In both locations, UV light levels tend to be high. The reddish-pink color of these algae is due to the presence of carotenoid pigments, which absorb blue light while reflecting red light. Those pigments protect the chloroplast from ultraviolet radiation, as well as absorbing heat, which provides the algae with liquid water as the snow melts around it. This molecular variation in plants illustrates a relative fitness because the molecular adaptations in chlorophyll pigments have passed to the next generation b innate variability because plants have evolved molecular differences to an environmental stimuli c unselective adaptation because plants have evolved molecular differences to adapt to different wavelengths of light d inclusive…
