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.

The diploid number of chromosomes in the mustard plant, Arabidopsis thaliana, is 10. Knowing this, answer the following question
lukranit [14]

Answer:

10 chromosomes/sister chromatids

Explanation:

Prophase is the first stage of cell division (mitosis). Prior to the cell entering the actual division stage, it undergoes a phase where it prepares its content and most importantly undergo the duplication of its genetic material (DNA). This DNA are found as chromosomes. It undergoes replication of its DNA in the S-phase of interphase stage.

Since Arabidopsis thaliana has 10 chromosomes, and each chromosome holds one DNA molecule, 10 molecules of DNA will be present in the mustard plant's genome. These 10 molecules of DNA will be replicated on another copy of chromosome which is identical to the template. This chromosomes are called SISTER chromatids i.e. replicated chromosome. Each sister chromatids are held together at the centromere and are considered one individual chromosome until they separate during anaphase stage.

Hence, at the Prophase stage, before separation, each sister chromatid (replicated chromosome) is considered as one chromosome. Thus, in the mustard plant with 10 chromosomes, it will possess 10 sister chromatids or chromosomes at the Prophase stage.

N.B: When sister chromatids separate during anaphase stage, they will be regarded as individual chromosomes.

Reactions between atoms occur when:
anyanavicka [17]

Answer:

A :an atom seeks to fill its outer shell of electrons

Explanation:

Reactions between atoms occur due the desire of an atom to fill their outer shell electrons.

The driving force for many interatomic bonding is the tendency to have completely filled outer energy levels like those of the noble gases.

  • The various interatomic interaction which leads to chemical reaction is in a bid for the atoms to be isoelectronic in the outer energy level with the noble gases.
  • This is achieved by gaining, losing or sharing of electrons.
