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.
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 determines whether a benthic zone in a lake will sustain photosyn?
The amount of light penetrating the water column, nutrient availability, and presence of suitable substrate for plant attachment are key factors that determine whether a benthic zone in a lake will sustain photosynthesis. Additionally, water clarity and water depth can also influence the growth of benthic plants.
Is a starfish a benthic organism?
Yes -- an organism is benthic if it lives on the bottom of a sea or lake. Starfish, or sea stars, tend to reside at the bottom of bodies of salt or brackish water
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.
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.
What area in a lake is likely to be aphotic?
Benthic zone
What determines a benthic zone in a like will sustain photosynthesis?
how deep the lake is.
What could you find in a benthic zone lake?
A freshwater mussel.
What part of a lake is mostly likely to have no photosynthesis?
Benthic zone
Shallowest zone of the benthic environment?
The question is slightly incorrectly phrased as the benthic zone is the ecological region at the lowest level of a body of water such as an ocean or a lake, including the sediment surface and some sub-surface layers.
