What reason are cnidoblasts important to the hydra?

A genus of small, freshwater cnidarians (coelenterates) which belong to the class Hydrozoa. Hydra is an exceptional member of this class because it is a mobile individual polyp rather than a sessile or colonial form, and uses its cnidoblasts to capture prey. Unlike most Hydrozoa, which spend at least part of their lives in a medusa form, which reproduces sexually, Hydra exists only as polyps. They are typically a few millimeters long.

Why is only a small percentage freshwater available to us?

The majority of the Earth's water is saltwater found in oceans. Only a small percentage, about 2.5%, is freshwater. However, much of this freshwater is frozen in ice caps and glaciers, or stored underground in aquifers, making only a small percentage of freshwater readily available for human use.


What is most of Earth's freshwater in the form of?

Most of Earth's freshwater is stored in glaciers and ice caps, particularly in Antarctica and Greenland, accounting for about 68.7% of the total freshwater supply. The remainder is found in groundwater (approximately 30.1%), with only a small fraction (about 1.2%) existing in lakes, rivers, and the atmosphere. This distribution highlights the limited availability of easily accessible freshwater resources for human use and ecological needs.
