Less light is available in marine environments than on land. Which adaptation is likely to help marine plants deal with these conditions? Proteins that reflect red light; proteins that absorb green light; decreased chlorophyll
1 answer
The adaptation that is likely to help marine plants deal with the low light conditions in marine environments is increased chlorophyll. Chlorophyll is a pigment responsible for capturing light energy for photosynthesis. By increasing the amount of chlorophyll, marine plants can maximize their light absorption and utilize the limited light available more efficiently. This adaptation allows them to thrive in low light conditions underwater.
