Answer: C) Wetlands act as sediment sinks (or basins).

Wetlands improve water quality in an ecosystem by acting as sediment sinks (or basins).

Wetlands filter water through their role in water flow. They act as a sediment sink depending on particle sizes, the concentration of the sediment load and flow velocity. The sediments which pass through wetlands will drop out of the water and become part of its ground layer. In this way, the water becomes clear and sediment is removed. Wetlands naturally reduce nutrient runoff also.

The fresh water is hypotonic and the salt solution is Hypertonic.

Explanation:

Hypotonic solution is a solution that have little dissolved solutes i.e low osmotic pressure compare to other solution. When a cell is put in hypotonic solution, it take in water and the cell swell up and it does not burst due to it's cell wall thereby becoming turgid or hard.

Please help . - How do scientist explain the incomplete fossil record? A) The fossil record is limited to fossilized animals and
stich3 [128]

Answer:

Option C.

Scientist explain the incomplete fossil record because not all organisms become fossils. Processes like erosion and mountain building can change rock layers, causing fossils to be spread over multiple layers or destroyed.

Explanation:

  • Fossils are the remains of organisms that are found on the rocks after they die.
  • So, no one can be 100% sure about the complete fossil record because of the continuous process like erosion and other natural calamities.
  • The sediment must cover any organism's remains to start the fossilization process to start. Most of the organisms start decomposing  before this process can be executed.
