Yes there are carnivores in the benthic zone. The scavengers in the benthic zone are considered carnivores because the eat the dead aquatic animals that float to the bottom when they die. There are also some carnivorous fish 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.
