Ans.

Plant waxes include complex compounds of alcohols, carbohydrates, acids, esters, hydrocarbons, and their combinations, present at the outside of epidermal cells. These waxes are strongly hydrophobic in nature and act as water repellents.

Thus, they provide protection to the aquatic plants against surface wetting. In land plants, waxes, present in cuticle prevent water loss, such as in dessert plants. Other functions of waxes include energy-storage, self-cleaning and reflection of UV radiation.

According to the given situation, the process of restoration of wetlands will help in increasing the carrying capacity of the wetland ecosystem. This is because of the fact that the organisms which are capable to survive in wetland ecosystem may experience disturbance due to human interventions. But with the increase in area and supply of water from the river the carrying capacity of the ecosystem will increase. The carrying capacity is the number of members of the population of species which an ecosystem can allow to survive.

Why are most of Earth's deserts located in the subtropical zone?
NeTakaya

Hot air always rises from the equator. As this air climbs higher in the sky, it cools. Cool air can hold less water than warm air. This means that as the air cools, clouds form that release most of the water they hold. Because the cooling air is above the equator, the moisture rains back down on the tropics.
