Out in the open ocean (pelagic zone), the regions are described by the amount of light they receive. Match the zone with its description. aphotic zone euphotic zone disphotic zone [ Choose ] dark - light cannot penetrate to this zone this zone has light, and photosynthesis occurs here also known as the twilight zone, some light penetrates but the amount drops off quickly with depth - no photosynthesis in this zone

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