The answer is B.Wetlands reduce flooding and erosion by absorbing water and then releasing it slowly.

Answer from: Pizzapegasus1

Wetlands reduce flooding and erosion by absorbing water and then releasing it slowly.

Further Explanation:

The Wetlands are the areas that are flooded by water throughout the year and have oxygen-free processes. The vegetation distinguishes it, mostly aquatic plants, adapting to unique hybrid soil. Wetlands are responsible for the water purification, processing of nutrients, water storage and support life and stabilizing of shorelines.

The wetland that is characterized by herbaceous vegetation is called marshes that are generally woody plants. This vegetation is found on the edges of the wetland and forms a transition between the terrestrial and aquatic ecosystem, comprising of grasses, reeds, rushes and shrubby woody plants. The most important component that segregates it from the other wetlands is the swamps, mires that are characterized by acidic peat. Mainly wetland absorbs water and releases it slowly to decrease erosion and flooding.

Scenario 5 1) take 10 red and 10 black beans and place them, mixed, on the table. record the starting phenotype # and frequencies (% of your total population) of your starting population in the table provided (generation 0). 2) act as a predator. â€ścaptureâ€ť as many organisms as you can until you have reduced the population to three organisms. put them aside. at this point, the predators die. 3) the remaining organisms each produce 2 clonal offspring. multiply your organisms accordingly and allow them to mix on the table. calculate and record the resultant phenotype # and frequencies (% of your total population) of your population in the table provided (generation 1). 4) repeat the reproduction event, allowing each of your organisms to produce 2 clonal offspring. calculate and record the resultant phenotype # and frequencies (% of your total population) of your population in the table provided (generation 2). 5) repeat the reproduction event, allowing each of your organisms to produce 2 clonal offspring. calculate and record the resultant phenotype # and frequencies (% of your total population) of your population in the table provided (generation 3).
