Describe an ecological function of an estuary

Biology
1 answer:
wolverine [178]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

Estuaries are of ecological importance because they are a habitat for a number of aquatic animals. Estuaries provide a protected environment to fishes and other organisms where they can safely reproduce. As many river streams flow into an estuary, hence an estuary has abundance of foods and nutrients for the aquatic animals that inhabit here. Estuaries also help the growth of those fishes which are used by humans in abundance hence raising the economy.

What will happen to the amount of prairie ecosystem if ice age?
kherson [118]
<span>An ice age is the amount of the Earth's water that is locked up on land in the form of glaciers.
</span>According to the scientists, an ice age occurs every 100,000 years. There are five major ice ages in the Earth's history. That are the Andean-Saharan, Huronian, Karoo Ice Age, Cryogenian, and the current Quaternary glaciation.
But, If we entered another ice age currently, it would increase the amount of locked water in the form of glaciers and hence it would have huge consequences for human civilization and the ecosystem.

Synthetic compounds found in an organism but not normally produced or expected to be present in that organism are called _____.
nlexa [21]

The correct answer is D. Xenobiotics

Explanation:

In biology, the word "xenobiotics" refers to any substance or chemical compound that is considered as not natural or synthetic is an organism, this means the substance or compound is not produced by the organism and therefore it is not expected to be found on it. In the seam way, a substance that is natural to the organism but that is found in abnormal concentration might be considered as a xenobiotics. This concept differs from pesticides because these are substances used to control pests and from bio remediators because these are used to deal with contamination. Therefore, the word that describes synthetic compounds that are not produced or expected to be present in an organism is xenobiotics.

Why was soil in wheat farms so much more vulnerable to erosion?
erica [24]

Explanation: The potential soil erosion increases if the soil has no or very little vegetative cover of plants/grass and/or crop residues. Plant and residue cover protects the soil from rain impact and splashes from it. It tends to slow down the movement of runoff water and allows excess surface water to infiltrate.
