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.
What determines whether the benthic zone in a lake will sustain photosynthesis?
The amount of light penetration into the benthic zone, nutrient availability, and the presence of photosynthetic organisms such as phytoplankton and aquatic plants are key factors that determine whether photosynthesis can occur in the benthic zone of a lake. If there is sufficient light and nutrients, photosynthesis can be sustained in the benthic zone.
A lake has very deep water at the bottom in the benthic zone. Why is it more difficult for plants to live in the benthic zone of this lake than in the littoral zome?
In the benthic zone, the water is deeper and often has lower light penetration compared to the littoral zone, where sunlight can easily reach the substrate, supporting plant growth. Additionally, the benthic zone may have different sediment characteristics and reduced nutrient availability, making it less hospitable for many aquatic plants. These factors combined limit the ability of plants to photosynthesize and thrive in the deeper waters of the benthic zone.
Is sedge an aquatic plant?
Sedge is an emergent plant. These types of plants grow in shallow water. Cattails, arrowheads, rushes, and reeds are also emergent plants.
Where do most aquatic plants and algae live and why?
aquatic plants live in water because they cannot survive on land
Is the cell walls of aquatic plants to be thicker or thinner than the cell walls of terrestrial plants?
Aquatic plants have a thicker cell was because they like to defecate on your mom's chest.
Do aquatic plants have gills?
No. Aquatic plants do not have gills. Aquatic vertebrates, such as fish, have gills.
Why are shallow-rooted plants such as grasses and small shrubs common in polar-tundra?
Shallow-rooted plants such as grasses and small shrubs are common in the polar tundra because of the cold and permafrost. Shallow roots are necessary because the ground remains frozen much of the time.
Do aquatic plants need sunlight?
Rooted aquatic plants can be found in areas with lower sunlight exposure. This is because the plants are used to having limited light because they're used to being in the water.
Where do aquatic plants live?
Aquatic plants live in sea or oceans.
What zone can you find plants roots attached to the seafloor?
The Benthic Zone
aquatic plants flooding often leads to a decrease in the rate of photosynthesis among aquatic plants. . Why does a decreased rate of photosynthesis lead to a decrease in a plant population?
because plants need photosynthesis to live or they will die
