Answer 5

Benthic is the lowest level of water body

Answer 6

Because light does not penetrate very deep into ocean-water, the energy source for the benthic ecosystem is often organic matter from higher up in the water column which drifts down to the depths. This dead and decaying matter sustains the benthic food chain. This is why most organisms in the benthic zone are scavengers or detritivores.
