Why are wetlands the 'kidney' of nature?
A healthy wetland also prevents pollutants from running into the bay. Ecologists call wetlands "the kidney" of the ecosystem because of the natural cleansing functions they perform. They do this by retaining sediments and toxic pollutants attached to the sediments. Wetland plants also reduce algae blooms and fish kills.Source:- http://www.pinolecreek.org/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=53:chelsea-wetlands&catid=36:future-projects&Itemid=55

What do you do to perform Uranium-235 dating on a sample?
The purest uranium is obtained after a long series of chemical processes. Ex.: grinding, dissolving, filtering, ion exchange separation, solvent extraction, etc.
What action do you perform on a data source in order to merge only certain records?
You would do a Merge using conditions, normally with an IF command or by filtering the records. It will depend on the application for the merging and the source data as to how specifically you would do it, as there are various options.
How is productivity of an ecosystem measured?
Ecosystem energy budget`s depend primarily of autotroph`s such as photoautotrophic organisms. The budget (energy that can be used by energy flux) depends on these primary producers for the rest of the food webs.
What tropic level contains the greatest biomass in ecosystem. explain why this occurs?
First trophic level or producers or green plants or phytoplanktons have the highest biomass except aquatic ecosystems because they perform maximum photosynthesis.
What are the major function of Kidney?

What is the role of the ecosystem?
The main function of ecosystem is energy transferred through food to animals & continue maintain food cycle
