Concentrated animal feeding operations that raise hundreds of animals in a single location often use manure lagoons to dispose o

f the manure. manure lagoons are ponds lined with rubber to prevent the manure from leaking into groundwater or nearby waterways. one pig produces 30 liters of manure each day, and the average feedlot holds 900 pigs. calculate the amount of manure produced by the feedlot after 30 days to determine the minimum capacity needed for a manure lagoon. a faulty manure pond leaks into a nearby lake. describe one effect this leak would have on the organisms living in the lake.

If there is a leakage of the manure pond into the near by river, the growth the nitrates and phosphates in the leak causes an overgrowth of algae leading to eutrophication.

<h3>What is a manure?</h3>

A manure is that which is used to improve the fertility of the soil. It is composed of the nutrients that are required by the soil. We know that each pig produces 30 liters of manure each day, and the average feedlot holds 900 pigs. Hence, each day, 30 * 900 = 27000 litres of manure is produced.

Within a period of 30 days, a total of 27000 litres of manure * 30 = 810,000 litres of manure is produced. If there is a leakage of the manure pond into the near by river, the growth the nitrates and phosphates in the leak causes an overgrowth of algae leading to eutrophication.

Which of the following statements best describes bacteria?
zubka84 [21]

Answer:

d. Genes that play a role in the same metabolic pathway are organized into an operon.

Explanation:

In prokaryotic organisms like bacteria, polycistronic mRNAs exist which means that each gene does not have a separate promoter of its own. In fact many genes are under the control of a single promoter. These genes being a part of same metabolic pathway are organized into an operon. For example, lac operon and tryptophan operon. In lac operon, three genes named as β-galactosidase, permease and transacetylase are expressed under a single promoter which is known as lac promoter.

In contrast to this, in eukaryotes the mRNAs are monocistronic i.e. only a single gene is controlled under a single promoter.
