Explain your observation in nature your reason for the absence of no green plants in the depth of the ocean where it is always dark?

Plants are green because of pigments, including chlorophylls, that absorb light for photosynthesis. In deep parts of the ocean, where it is always dark, photosynthesis cannot take place (there is no light), so there is no need for these green pigments in plants that may exist there. Therefore any plants that do exist there would not be green, as production of chlorophylls would be a waste of energy and resources.

What are 5 plants in the ocean?

Well let me think... NOTHING!! Green plants only grow near the surface of the ocean. The deeper the water, the less plants are found. This is because green plants need sunlight. The sunlight totally disappears and the plants cannot live. Try something similar yourself. Put one plant in a sunny spot and another plant of the same variety in a dark cupboard and leave them for 7 days. The plant in the cupboard will be lighter in color and wilted.
