Why are wetlands important to the health of the overall environment?

Wetlands refer to the regions of land where water covers the soil for some particular time of the year or for the entire year. These comprise billabongs, lagoons, swamps, marshes, fens, mangroves, peatlands, lakes, and others. The wetlands can be artificial or natural and the water present underneath a wetland may be flowing or static, saline, fresh, or brackish.  

Wetlands are an essential part of the natural environment. They safeguard the shores from the action of waves, captivates pollutants, minimize the influences of floods, and better the quality of water. They even offer habitat for plants and animals and may comprise a wide diversity of life, encouraging animals and plants, which are not found anywhere else. Wetlands offer an important range of social, environmental, and economic services.  

interphase

the period of cell growth when the cell synthesizes new molecules and organelles. the cell is not dividing and it constitutes the majority of the time spent in the cell cycle

prophase

changes occur in the nucleus and cytoplasm. the chromatin condenses to form structures (sister chromatids) visible with a light microscope and the mitotic spindle begins to form, but the nucleus is still in tact

prometaphase

the nuclear envelope fragments and the spindle microtubules attach to the kinetochores of the sister chromatids

metaphase

all the cell's duplicated chromosomes are lined up at an imaginary plane equidistant between the poles of the mitotic spindle

anaphase

begins when sister chromatids separate from each other and ending when a complete set of daughter chromosomes arrives at each of the two poles of the cell

telophase

the daughter nuclei form at the two poles of a cell

cytokinesis

the division of a cytoplasm to form two separate daughter cells. usually occurs during telophase during mitosis. this and mitosis make up to mitotic (m) phase of the cell cycle
