Why do wetlands have a rich supply of nutrients?

Biology
1 answer:
Ratling [72]3 years ago
7 0
Well, first off, the sediments get brought down from the mountains after eroding away. Those sediments combine with others as it passes through the creeks and streams, rivers etc. Whatever dies, for example lets say chum salmon since they have nutrients within them. They aren't good swimmers so they are normally at the mouth of the river or in the small streams nearby. When they die, their nutrients go into the soil, that soil or whatever nutrients in that, could be swept out to the wetlands and piled up. Thus, adding rich nutrients. Adding the sediments from high up, you have a rich supply of nutrients from the wildlife that dies there as well.

*What is the chemical equation for photosynthesis? What is the reverse of this chemical process called?
mestny [16]

Answer:

The process of photosynthesis is commonly written as: 6CO2 + 6H2O → C6H12O6 + 6O2. This means that the reactants, six carbon dioxide molecules and six water molecules, are converted by light energy captured by chlorophyll (implied by the arrow) into a sugar molecule and six oxygen molecules, the products.

There is one chemical process in biochemistry that has a reversible process. If you remember glycolysis, it actually has a reversible process. This reversible process is called gluconeogenesis. These two processes are reversible in response to glucose concentration in our bodies. When our bodies need energy, glucose breaks down into pyruvate through glycolysis. When our bodies need glucose for storage, pyruvate turns back into glucose through gluconeogenesis. Here are the processes:

What is thought to have been the order of evolution of organisms on earth, from the earliest cells to the most-complex organisms
Kisachek [45]
<span>Prokaryotic cells to prokaryotic organisms to eukaryotic cells to eukaryotic organisms.

There are a lot of created theories in which biologists engaged themselves to explain such phenomenon that occurred thousands of years ago, and experts say such study is hard to replicate, the start of prokaryote cells. Prokaryotes were said to be the first organisms that existed and were able to exhibit photosynthesis that produced oxygen that spread across the atmosphere. Hence, consider the Theory of Spontaneous formation of organic moleculeswhich suggests that the early earth had less to none oxygen. Thus, the atmosphere was abundant with the gases, CO2 and N2 with some other small amounts of H2, H2S, and CO. Hence, in Stanley Miller’s experiment when electrical sparks or “lightning” came in contact with these gases, the newly formed mixtures of CH4, NH3, and H2 were catalyzed. With these newly formed gases in interaction with H2O came the first synthesized some amino acids that compromised the earliest organic molecules which evolved to macromolecules, to be organelles of a cell. Which in the latter macromolecules are in today, maybe have been before the early nucleic acids (able to replicate) or proteins of these early cells.</span><span>
