Wetlands DO NOT increase the rate of extinction of mammals by creating a loss of habitat. Wetlands rather form a habitat for many organisms creating a rich microcosm of an ecosystem.
Explanation:
Wetlands are land areas that are seasonally or permanently submerged in water. They include marshlands, estuaries, deltas, swamps, floodplains, and etcetera. The plants within wetlands, such as mangrove slow down water runoff hence allowing settling down of, sediments and pollutants hence ‘cleaning’ the water.
Due to this fact that wetlands slow water movement, these ecosystems are significant in reducing flooding by ‘storing’ flood water and releasing it slowly hence acting like flood controls.

Answer:
<em>The total amount of energy transferred during photosynthesis for this ecosystem equals</em><em> 260,000 kcal/m2/yr.</em>
Explanation:
To answer this question, we need to know that
- gross primary productivity (GPP) = energy captured and converted into chemical energy during photosynthesis
- net primary productivity (NPP) = difference between GPP and respiration rate
So, to calculate GPP we need to sum NPP to Respiration rate. This if,
NPP = 165,000 kcal/m2/yr
R = 95,000 kcal/m2/yr
NPP = GPP – Respiration
Then,
GPP = NPP + R
GPP = 165,000 kcal/m2/yr + 95,000 kcal/m2/yr
GPP = 260,000 kcal/m2/yr

Answer:
Polygenic inheritance occurs when one characteristic is controlled by two or more genes. Often the genes are large in quantity but small in effect. Some examples include height, skin color, eye color and weight.
- In polygenic inheritance the "dominant" capital genes are additive, each capital gene adding one unit of color to the genotype.With more capital genes, the phenotype (appearance) gets darker.
Answer: Soil provides ecosystem services critical for life: soil acts as a water filter and a growing medium; provides habitat for billions of organisms, contributing to biodiversity; and supplies most of the antibiotics used to fight diseases.
Explanation: Tell three ways that soil is important and for each explains why it is important in that way.
