Answer:

A. ice caps and glaciers, groundwater, surface water

Explanation:

Fresh water is a type of water, found in nature, in which there is no salt. It is water suitable for consumption (provided it is treated) for humans and animals. Fresh water is also used in agriculture. Only about 2.5% of the water found on our planet is sweet. It is mainly found in polar caps and glaciers, groundwater, surface water.

With the growth of the world population, fresh water has become increasingly scarce. Overuse, waste and water pollution are the main problems related to fresh water today.

As it is a precious and scarce mineral resource, society must be aware that, in order not to run out of water in the near future, it is necessary to avoid waste, use it rationally and do not pollute rivers, lakes and water sources.

Which one of the following is a major difference between the circulatory systems of earthworms and fish?
labwork [276]
<span>a. Fish have a single central heart; earthworms have several hearts.

Multi cellular organisms are made up of billions of cells each specialized to a unique role and these cells are organized into structural and functional units such as tissues and organs.
For each cell and organ to function optimally, it requires oxygen and nutrients and needs carbon dioxide and  metabolic waste taken away  in a  continuous, never ending  process.
<span>A mechanism  is needed to accomplish the important function of transporting the relevant materials to and from the cell. The circulatory system fits this  bill splendidly. It is a specialized organ system which allows blood  and lymph to flow through the entire body carrying nutrients such as glucose, amino acids and electrolytes as well as oxygen to each cell, at the same time carting away carbon dioxide and all sorts of metabolic waste over to excretory organs  to be expelled from the body.
