Answer:

b. sediment trapping

A wetland is a distinct ecosystem that can be found in a region where deep surface of land is occupied with water either permanently or seasonally. The water gets deposited in the wetland comes from rain, melting of glaciers, irrigation of the agricultural land, river, lakes and ponds.

The water enters the wetland takes along with it minerals and sediments of the land surface due to surface runoff. These mineral particles gets deposited in the bed or floor of the wetland. Hence, the erosion of the minerals by wind or water is prevented by this sedimentation process.

Therefore, sediment trapping is a correct option which helps in the reduction of the erosion.

a client receives blood work back showing high levels of lipoproteins and low levels of low density lipoproteins
Y_Kistochka [10]
<h3>Lipoproteins</h3>

Explanation:

Lipoproteins are aggregate molecules of lipids and proteins which carry cholesterol in the blood. Cholesterol binds with water-soluble carrier molecules of the lipoproteins.

Based on their density, lipoproteins are classified as very low density lipoproteins (VLDL), low density lipoprotein (LDL), high density lipoprotein (HDL)  

The serum lipoprotein levels are diagnostic markers to detect blood fat levels and are checked in the blood lipid profile tests.

If LDL levels are increased it indicates higher risk for heart diseases like atherosclerosis  

If HDL is increased, it reflects a healthy heart and reduces the risk for heart diseases or failure

<span>For the first one I would say that the water cycle would be affected because there would be more water in the ground. The roots of the trees soak up the water and keep excellent drainage under the ground. Without trees this mechanism would be all sorts of messed up. Another way it could be affected would be the perspiration from the trees. This might change the humidity of the area.</span>
