What is the scientific name for the sunlit zone?
Waters as deep as 200 meters are referred to as the epipelagic zone, or the photic zone.The upper layer of a marine ecosystem is the limnectic zone, where sunlight penetrates. Below it are the profundal zone and the benthic zone.
The different type of ecoysystem?
Terrestrial ecosystems,The Forest Ecosystem,The Desert Ecosystem ,The Grassland Ecosystem,The Mountain Ecosystem,Aquatic Ecosystems,The Marine Ecosystem and The Freshwater Ecosystem
Is a community of seals an ecosystem?
it is a community not an ecosystem . they are part of ecosystem
What do the do in an ecosystem?
what do the sun do in a ecosystem
What part of speech is ecosystem?
The word ecosystem is a noun.
A lake in which minerals are scarce is profundal oligotrophic eutrophic benthic pelagic?
Found it. Its oligotrophic.
What is profundal benthos?
Invertebrates found in the deeper zones of the body of water, usually where there is no effective light penetration.
Does plants in lakes grow in the profundal zone?
Sunlight doesn't reaches this zone so no plants are able to grow.
Why would you expect to find few plankton in the profundal zone of a lake?
The profundal zone of a lake is characterized by deep, dark waters that receive little to no sunlight, which inhibits photosynthesis. Since plankton, particularly phytoplankton, rely on sunlight for energy, their numbers are significantly reduced in this zone. Additionally, the lack of nutrients and limited mixing in the profundal zone further contributes to the scarcity of plankton. As a result, this area supports fewer organisms compared to the well-lit and nutrient-rich zones above.
What is portion of the marine biome that is shallow enough for sunlight to penetrate called?
Sunlight can penetrate through the limnetic zone into the profundal zone.
What is a profundal zone of a lake?
The profundal zone is the deepest and darkest zone of a lake, where sunlight does not penetrate. It is characterized by low levels of oxygen, limited plant growth, and a large amount of organic matter that has sunk to the bottom. Organisms adapted to low-light conditions, such as deep-water fish and detritus-feeding organisms, are commonly found in this zone.
Which zone has the most plankton Profundal Littoral or Limnetic?
The Limnetic zone should have the most plankton, as it is the section with the best suitable conditions for organisms to thrive. The Limnetic zone is wide opened to sunlight, and is also oxygen filled. However the profundal zone has a very limmited supply of oxygen and sunlight, which makes the water cold and harder for organisms, such as plankton to thrive there.
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.

Describe the three zones of a lake?
Littoral Zone - In coastal environments and biomes, the littoral zone extends from the high water mark, which is rarely inundated, to shoreline areas that are permanently submerged. It always includes the intertidal zone and is often used to mean the same as the intertidal zone. However, the meaning of "littoral zone" can extend well beyond the intertidal zone. Limnetic Zone - The limnetic zone is the well-lit, open surface waters in a lake, away from the shore. The vegetation of the littoral zone surrounds this expanse of open water and it is above the profundal zone. Profundal Zone - The profundal zone is a deep zone of a body of water, such as an ocean or a lake, located below the range of effective light penetration. This is typically below the thermocline, the vertical zone in the water through which temperature drops rapidly. The lack of light in the profundal zone determines the type of biological community that can live in this region, which is distinctly different from the community in the overlying waters. The profundal zone is part of the aphotic zone
