Match the Lake/Pond zone to its definition. Does not receive sunlight, no photosynthesis, lower in oxygen a. Littoral zone b. Aphotic zone Extends along bottom of lake, from shore to deepest point, many invertebrates live here c. Benthic zone d. Photic zone Receives sunlight, photosynthesis can happen, higher in oxygen, many phytoplankton e. Limnetic zone Area around edges of lake, nutrient rich, supports an abundance of life Open portion of the lake, far from shore

Match the aquatic life zone to the best description including the abiotic conditions and living organisms Tropical water; close to continent or island; symbiosis between Cnidarian and a chromoalveloate Low productivity; away from the continental shelf High oxygen, warm temperature upper 200 meters; phytoplankton Deepest part of the ocean; dark, low oxygen levels; detritivores Periods of dry air exposure; high nutrient level, fluctuating temperatures and salinity Dim light; medium levels of oxygen and rapidly declining temperatures with depth; Fresh water lake; shallow water; house terrestrial plants Options: Littoral Zone, Intertidal Zone, Abyssal Zone, Benthic Zone, Coral Reef, Aphotic zone, Photic Zone, Pelagic Zone, Limnetic Zone
