Question

16 multiple choice 1 point what are the types of freshwater aquatic biomes? rivers, lakes, coral reefs, and bogs lotic (rivers and streams) and lentic (lakes and ponds) estuaries, fens, oceans, and coral reefs lentic (rivers and streams) and lotic (lakes and ponds) 17 multiple choice 1 point eutrophication is less likely to occur in the area that are surrounded by fertilised lands algal bloom is already present there are numerous aquatic animals deserts 18 multiple choice 1 point what is not a benefit of wetlands? reduced flooding renewable energy from hydroelectric dams clean water less soil erosion

Explanation:

16

• Freshwater aquatic biomes are classified into lotic (flowing water like rivers and streams) and lentic (standing water like lakes and ponds).
• Coral reefs are marine biomes, so options with them are incorrect.
• The correct classification is lotic (rivers and streams) and lentic (lakes and ponds).

• Eutrophication is caused by nutrient - rich runoff.
• Fertilized lands contribute nutrients (option 1 is wrong).
• Algal bloom is a result of eutrophication (option 2 is wrong).
• Aquatic animals don't prevent eutrophication (option 3 is wrong).
• Deserts have less nutrient - rich runoff, so eutrophication is less likely.

• Wetlands help in reducing flooding (by acting as sponges), providing clean water (filtration), and reducing soil erosion (root systems).
• Hydroelectric dams are not a benefit of wetlands.

Answer:

lotic (rivers and streams) and lentic (lakes and ponds)
