Okay, so we are here. Problem 11. I'm looking at zones of the lake. Uh, what? This was one drawing here was the floor of the lake. Ah, and you could sort of break up link into a few different components. Here s so you have this one closest to the shore, don't you? To the deeper levels, you sort of a deeper section and a, uh, shit. A shallower sexual one closer to the surface. Okay. And so were given a few choices here. And one of them is the benthic sell rights. This is actually going to include the sediment. The soil near where the, uh, where the water and land meat. Uh, so then this one here in the shoreline, which isn't one of our options, is the literal the Toral's board and then choosing from are gonna be the pro fund all which is this deeper one pro funda ll and also the Lynette IQ zone. And there's gonna be this one closer to the surface, right? And so when we are choosing between these, these two for where the final point, our is important to note that, uh, Fredo plankton photosynthesize so they they photosynthesize which means they need sunlight, right? All things that photosynthesize do. And so they're gonna have a greater access to sunlight here in the lunatics own. Right? As I get deeper, there's gonna have a harder time getting the necessary sunlight. Photosynthesize. So? So the zone in a lake that you're gonna find photo. Sorry, Fido Plankton in is going to be the the Lynette IQ zone. And so the answer we're looking for here is a
