If you were a plankton in which part of the river would you most likely live a) profundal b) benthic c) limnetic d) sediment?
As a plankton, I would most likely live in the c) limnetic zone of the river. This area is well-lit and supports a diverse range of phytoplankton and zooplankton, allowing for photosynthesis and a rich food web. The profundal zone is too deep and dark for plankton, while the benthic and sediment zones are more associated with bottom-dwelling organisms rather than free-floating plankton.
What else can I help you with?
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.
A lake in which minerals are scarce is profundal oligotrophic eutrophic benthic pelagic?
Found it. Its oligotrophic.
What type of food is eaten in each zone of a lake?
In the littoral Zone its Sea weed, Limnetic Zone is Bitts of Chloropholic Plants, Euphotic Zone its clams or shrips that flote around. & Benthic Zone you find pizza, and hotdogs and chips and and if you're really lucky you'll find a Mc,Chicken with a spongbob toy inside you're happymeal. :D
Why is it more difficult for plants to live in the benthic zone of this lake than in limnetic zone?
Lack of Light.
Which of the could you find in the benthic zone of a lake?
You would fine sediment in the benthic zone, or bottom, of a lake.
What is the definition of deep-water zone?
Close to the the marine's benthic zone, this zone is the bottom-most zone to the fresh water biome.
Is the bright blue sea star plankton?
No, sea stars are benthic organisms. Plankton means drifter, they float around for their whole lives.
Do gray whales eat plankton?
Gray whales primarily feed on benthic organisms rather than plankton. They use a unique feeding method called "bottom feeding," where they scoop up sediment from the ocean floor and filter out small crustaceans, amphipods, and other invertebrates. While they may unintentionally consume some plankton while feeding, it is not a significant part of their diet. Their foraging strategy is specifically adapted to target the rich food sources found in the sediment.
What is the bentic zone?
The benthic zone is the lowest level of a body of water such as an ocean or a lake. It includes the sediment surface sediment and some sub-surface layers.
What do deep ocean benthic organisms most often feed on?
dead plants and animals that drift from the surface
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 would you find in a profundal zone?
The profundal zone is the deep, dark layer of a lake or ocean that lies below the photic zone, where sunlight cannot penetrate. In this zone, you would typically find cold water that is low in oxygen and nutrients, along with organisms adapted to such conditions, such as benthic invertebrates, certain fish species, and decomposers. The lack of light limits photosynthesis, so the ecosystem relies on organic matter that sinks from above. Overall, life in the profundal zone is characterized by adaptations to cold, darkness, and low nutrient availability.
