How do freshwater and saltwater compare in terms of their dissolved solids?

a; neither freshwater nor saltwater contains dissolved solids.

b: the amount of dissolved solids is 35 parts per thousand in both freshwater and saltwater.

c: the amount of dissolved solids is less in freshwater.

d: the amount of dissolved solids is less in saltwater.

The correct answer would be option C.

Salt water refers to the water in which high concentration of dissolved salts are present due to which they are much saltier in taste and they have very high conductivity comparatively.

It is not suitable for drinking as high salt concentration can lead to dehydration in humans.

Thus, it needs to be desalinated to convert it into potable or freshwater. Freshwater is the water in which the concentration of dissolved salts is less than 1 percent.

Therefore, the amount of dissolved solids in freshwater is less as compared to the salt water.

many phylogenetic trees have a single lineage at the base representing a common ancestor. a lineage that evolved early from the root and remains unbranched is called basal taxon. when two lineages stem from the same branch point, they are called sister taxa.
