A swamp is an area of a land that is permanently filled with water. It could be formed out from a former lake or pond overtaken by trees. It is also dominated by trees. Cypress and tupelo trees, bushes and shrubs grow in swamps and even tiny plants like the duckweed that almost covers the water surface.
A river is a large area where water flows to the ocean, the lake, etc. and its seawater consistently evaporates. Its source could be from a melting snow, a melting glacier, a lake with an out-flowing stream or a spring bubbling out of the ground.

Two reasons for the difference:
1. Swamps have many formed marine animals and insects while the river, you can only rarely find one (like fishes).
2. Rivers could be a source of water into houses, farms and even a drinking water for humans while swamps could not be a source for those.

Virty [35]

Sickle cell disease has a benefit in malaria infection because it makes the parasites easier to eliminate. This makes a person with sickle cell disease is more likely to survive the malaria infection, which found many in Africa.

Sickle cell disease has a few drawbacks because it makes the red blood cells less durable, which lead to the destruction of more red blood cells. In normal condition(where malaria doesn't exist like in America), this gene will make the organism less likely to survive than those who don't have the gene.

Which of the following statements is true?

mafiozo [28]

Answer:

The correct answer is: D) The kidneys are paired organs that regulate water and electrolyte balance in terrestrial vertebrates.

Explanation:

The kidneys are the organs that control, for example, the volume of body fluid compartments, acid-base balance, and electrolyte concentrations. These organs are also key to eliminate the toxins from the body.

The kidneys are always two (when not is because of a pathology or the surgical removal of one of the two) and are present in vertebrates.

The kidneys do not regulate blood glucose. That is the job of the pancreas through two hormones called insulin and glucagon.

The kidneys do not remove nitrogenous wastes (urea) from the urine, instead they filtrate these wastes from the blood for these to be excreted through urine.
