Answer:

by absorbing water and then releasing it slowly.

Explanation:

Answer:

Wetlands function as natural sponges that trap and slowly release surface water, rain, snowmelt, groundwater and flood waters. Trees, root mats and other wetland vegetation also slow the speed of flood waters and distribute them more slowly over the floodplain. This combined water storage and braking action lowers flood heights and reduces erosion.

Why are wetlands referred to as "biological supermarkets"? pt.2 for edn2020

Wetlands within and downstream of urban areas are particularly valuable, counteracting the greatly increased rate and volume of surface- water runoff from pavement and buildings. The holding capacity of wetlands helps control floods and prevents water logging of crops. Preserving and restoring wetlands together with other water retention can often provide the level of flood control otherwise provided by expensive dredge operations and levees. The bottomland hardwood- riparian wetlands along the Mississippi River once stored at least 60 days of floodwater. Now they store only 12 days because most have been filled or drained.

"the _____ controls the release of our body s stress hormone, cortisol."
zepelin [54]
The correct answer is HPA axis.

The Hypothalamic-Pituitary-Adrenal (HPA) axis is one of the most important neuroendocrine systems, which regulates the stress response and other functions such as the digestion, mood, emotions and the immune system.

The hypothalamus, when triggered by a possible stressor, releases two hormones; the vasopressin and the corticotropin-releasing hormone (CRH). CRH, in turn, triggers the release of the adrenocorticotropin hormone (ACTH) from the pituitary gland. As a result of the secretion of ACTH, cortisol is secreted by the adrenal cortex.

Cortisol is a steroid hormone, considered to be our body's stress hormone.

Which is an SI derived unit measurement?<br><br>0.56 kg<br>01.10 m<br>2730K<br>02.5 N​
balandron [24]

Answer:

02.5 N​

Explanation:

02.5 N​ is a derived unit of measurement.

A derived unit is one that is obtained by combining two or more fundamental units.

                    Force = mass x acceleration

                The unit of mass = kg

                                   acceleration = m/s²

Combining the two;          kg x m/s²  = kgms²

          1N = 1  kgms²

kg, m, k and N are fundamental particles

All of the following factors are responsible for unloading of oxygen from the hemoglobin molecule except
tatuchka [14]

All of the factors are responsible for unloading of oxygen from the hemoglobin molecule except the increase in partial pressure of oxygen.

Because the affinity of haemoglobin for binding oxygen increases as  partial pressure of oxygen rises.

<h3>What is  Haemoglobin?</h3>

Red blood cells include the protein hemoglobin, which transports oxygen to your body's organs and tissues and carbon dioxide from those tissues back to your lungs.

<h3>What are factors that affect Haemoglobin's affinity for oxygen?</h3>
  • When used as an oxygen transporter, hemoglobin can carry about 65 times as much oxygen as simple solution in plasma could.
  • A cooperative oxygen-hemoglobin affinity is produced by conformational changes in the molecule.
  • The oxygen-hemoglobin dissociation curve's sigmoidal form reflects this characteristic.
  • Temperature, hydrogen ions, carbon dioxide, and intraerythrocytic 2,3-DPG all have an impact on hemoglobin's affinity, and they all interact with one another.
