Explanation:

2nd statement is incorrect i.e. Water in a lentic system acts as an effective agent of transfer, transport and dilution.
Lake ecosystems are a prime example of lentic ecosystems. Lentic refers to stationary or relatively still water, from the Latin lentus, which means sluggish. Lentic waters range from ponds to lakes to wetlands, and much of this article applies to lentic ecosystems in general.
