Answer:

1. break down of food into energy => oxygen

2. absorb x-rays in bones  => calcium

3. cell membrane function  => sodium

4. all organic compounds  => carbon

Explanation:

Oxygen in an element which is required during cellular respiration which in turn generates energy in the form of ATP. Aerobic respiration is not possible in the absence of oxygen.

Calcium is an element which is abundantly present in bones and has great tendency to absorb x rays. It is because of calcium that our bones appear white when they are exposed to x rays.

Sodium ion is present in cells and play a very important role in maintaining cell membrane potential with the help of sodium potassium pump.

Carbon is an important element because it is an important constituent of all organic compounds. All organic compounds are chemically hydrocarbons i.e. compounds having short or long chains of carbon and hydrogen.

Which of these is a way to increase the availability of freshwater
Nastasia [14]

Answer:

Option A

Explanation:

Options -

A-avoid water pollution.

B-build thermal power plants.

C-add water features to gardens.

D-avoid drip irrigation systems

Solution -

The largest source of freshwater on planet earth is underground water. The water beneath the surface of earth is very limited. The total fresh water reserve on earth is 3% of the total water on earth. Pollution due to discharge of waste water into the rivers and oceans has caused the degradation of not only surface water but also ground water.  

Thus, option A is correct

Drip irrigation is a means to prevent wastage of water during irrigation. Thus, avoiding it will cause further loss of fresh water.  

Addition of water feature will increase usage of water, thus it is also incorrect

Building thermal plant will also cause water pollution and wastage. Hence, option  B is also incorrect
