Approximately 0.1% of the freshwater on Earth's surface is found in living things. This water is primarily contained within organisms and makes up a small portion of the total freshwater available. The majority of freshwater exists in lakes, rivers, and underground aquifers.
Surface area is important for living things because it dictates the rate of exchange of materials with the environment. A larger surface area allows for more efficient absorption of nutrients and gases, as well as the release of waste products. This is crucial for processes like respiration, digestion, and photosynthesis to occur effectively.
The biosphere is the part of Earth's surface and atmosphere where living organisms exist. It includes all ecosystems and living organisms, from the depths of the ocean to high in the mountains.
No, it does not! The biosphere represents all living things, the Cryosphere is the frozen areas at the Earth's poles. Look at the model that follows. In this model the "ice caps" are the cryosphere and the "land surface" along with the "vegetation" is the biosphere.
The combined portions of Earth where all living things exist is referred to as the biosphere. This includes the Earth's surface, atmosphere, and bodies of water where living organisms can be found. The biosphere encompasses all ecosystems and habitats that support life on our planet.
Yes, all living things depend on non-living things. For example: - A plant requires sunlight, soil and water, all non-living things. - An animal requires a habitat, so rocks, dirt, etc. which are non-living things. Even if the animal did not depend on these things, it would still need to eat other animals or plants and plants need non-living things to survive.
No, there is no such living creature known as a Freshwater Plimpy.

No, not all living things contain sodium. Sodium is an essential mineral needed by most living organisms for various physiological functions, but there are living things such as certain freshwater organisms or extremophiles that can survive in environments with very low or no sodium levels.
In living things its for interacting with the environment.
Living things depend on water in the great lakes its are major fresh water source and our main supply on salmon and other freshwater creatures that WE eat.

Probably not; the surface of Venus is extremely hot.
We have not found a good reason that some sort of living thing could not live on Mars. There is water, and the surface of Mars is certainly warm enough. But, no living things have been detected yet on Mars by the several rovers that we have sent to Mars' surface.
