Why do wetlands have a rich supply of nutrients?

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.

difference between structure and function. ( who ever writes the most gets brainliest AND NO PLAGIARISM.

Ber [7]

Explanation:

if you were trying to find the function of something it you would mainly think of roles, jobs, responsibilities, chores etc, where as if you were trying to find the structure it would be how something is made up or its form.

for example the srtucture of a plant, meaning its form or how it grew, its function depends on what type of plant, if it were just a regular plant or leaf, the stomata, cell wall, cell membrane, nucleus, chloroplasts, chlorophyll inside the chloroplasts, mitochondria, cytoplasm, would be requied to do their funtions i.e their jobs to keep the plant/leaf alive

Steroids differ structurally from triglycerides and phospholipids, although they are all classified as lipids. What characterist

Yakvenalex [24]

Answer:

Lipids are hydrocarbon molecules that make up the structure of living beings. Few examples are fats, oils and waxes. Steroids are also a class of lipids but they are not structurally related to other lipids but do share some common properties with them. They are insoluble in water and are hydrophobic( water-repelling).

Explanation:

Lipids are insoluble in water as they are non-polar but soluble in non polar solvents (chloroform). Fat soluble vitamins like A,D,E,K and steroids have a different structure composed of fused four rings.

The most common example of steroid is cholesterol. Cholesterol acts as a precursor for many hormones and other signalling molecules.
