<h3>What is fresh water?</h3>

Glaciers, lakes, reservoirs, ponds, rivers, streams, wetlands, and even groundwater contain fresh water.

These freshwater habitats cover less than 1% of the world's total surface area but are home to 10% of all known animals and up to 40% of all known fish species.

When a fish swims from salt water into fresh water its cells react by losing water and shrinking due to osmosis.​

<h3>What is osmosis?</h3>

Osmosis is the movement of water through a semipermeable membrane from an area of ​​low solute concentration to one of higher solute concentration to establish an equilibrium.

For example, The solutes are solids that dissolve in water and form ions, such as salts (NaCl) and sugars, these solutes are also found the cell’s cytoplasm.

Which of the following statements about secondary production is false!
hoa [83]

The statement about secondary production that is false is option c. Generally, an individual's production efficiency will decline as the C:N ratio of its food increases.

<h3>When is productivity and efficiency present?</h3>

Productive efficiency states that it is not possible to generate more of one good without producing less of another good given the inputs and technology at hand.

Note that Production efficiency is a word used in economics to describe the point at which an economy or other entity can no longer produce more of one good without reducing the level of production of a different one.

Hence, It's more important to focus on the caliber of your job than just the pace. Therefore, you have achieved improved production efficiency if your company increased its output from 1,000 bags to 1,500 bags of coffee while generating less waste, spending less money, and utilizing fewer resources.

Fossils up to 75,000 years old can be dated with ______.
kodGreya [7K]
Fossils up to 75,000 years old can be dated with Carbon-14.
 
Radio isotopes can be used for the age determination of the fossils. Carbon-14 is a common isotope which is used for that purpose. But the half- life of the Carbon-14 is relatively small as 5730 years. That means the amount of Carbon-14 will be half after every 5730 years. Hence, decay is very fast. So Carbon-14 cannot be used forage determination which is more than 75000 years due to the low accuracy.
