Which aquatic ecosystems are both littoral and benthic zones found?
The littoral zone of a lake is the near the shore area where sunlight penetrates all the way to the sediment and allows aquatic plants to grow. The benthic zone is the region at the lowest level of a body of a lake including the sediment surface and some sub-surface layers.
Which of these could you find in the benthic zone of a lake plankton turtles sediment or plants?
You would fine sediment in the benthic zone, or bottom, of a lake.

sunlight reaches the bottom
Why is it more difficult for plants to live in the benthic zone of this lake than in limnetic zone?
Lack of Light.
Where are amphibians that eat living plants most likely?
The littoral zone
What is a benthic community?
Benthic algae are algae that grow on the bottom sediments of fresh and salt waterbodies. Benthic algae are most commonly filamentous or colonial forms, but also may be microscopic single-celled organisms. Benthic algae perform various beneficial functions. Benthic algae provide food and habitat for many aquatic organisms. In this way they contribute to the biological productivity of aquatic systems.
What enable algae and plants to grow in the littoral zone?
It's close enough to the shore, or land, that the sunlight reaches the bottom. So, plants and algae can grow because of the sunlight they receive. :) I hope I helped!
