Help meee,A study was carried out on the emission of N2O in a sewage treatment plant (ETE) in the metropolitan region of Rio de

Janeiro.
of January. During the study period, this ETE received sewage from 470,000 inhabitants. One particularity observed is that in addition to receiving domestic sewage, this station received, during a certain period of the day,the material leached from a sanitary landfill, responsible for causing an increase in the load of organic matter in the ETE in study. Continuous measurements of dissolved oxygen concentration and N2O emission were carried out at this station for 3
hours, in the period prior to the entry of the material leached from the landfill and in the period immediately after the entry of this material.

1-Why, soon after the material from the landfill, the concentration of dissolved oxygen decreased;

2-Why is there a significant increase in the emission of N2O soon after the entry of the leached material from the landfill? What bacterial processes can contribute to the increase in the emission of this observed gas
in this experiment?

The emission of N2O from the landfill site is called denitrification and it is caused by the action of denitrifying bacteria.

<h3>What is dissolved oxygen?</h3>

The term dissolved oxygen refers to the amount of oxygen that is present in  a water body. Now, we know that the addition of organic matter into water requires oxygen to break it own thus the dissolved oxygen content will go down in response to the added organic load.

The process that leads to the emission of N2O from the landfill site is called denitrification and it is caused by the action of denitrifying bacteria.

A certain plant species has seeds that remain dormant until heat stimulates them to germinate.
Harlamova29_29 [7]

Answer:

Explanations: primary succession will take place because these plants will dominate after a wild fire has occured in the area since their growth is stimulated by heat hence the heat will result to the widespread of this type of plant

These plants are indeed dependant on succession events because they are only stimulated to grow through heat events

This membrane mimics the __________________ that is around animal cells. In order to explore how water moves in and out of a cel
Olenka [21]

This membrane mimics the plasma membrane that is around animal cells. In order to explore how water moves in and out of a cell, one cell was weighed and then submerged in hypertonic solution. The other egg was weighted and submerged in hypotonic solution. It was predicted that the egg submerged in hypertonic solution  would decrease in mass. It was predicted that the egg submerged in hypotonic solution would increase in mass.

Explanation:

The outermost covering of an animal cell is the plasma membrane. It is a selectively permeable membrane that allows only selective molecules to pass through it.

A solution having higher concentration of solute than the cell cytoplasm is called a hypertonic solution.

A solution having lower concentration of solute than the cell cytoplasm is called the  hypotonic solution.

The movement of water molecules from the region of its higher concentration to the region of its lower concentration through a semipermeable membrane is called osmosis.

A cell placed in hypertonic solution will undergo exosmosis so it will lose water and its mass will decrease.

A cell placed in hypotonic solution  will undergo endosmosis of water  so it will gain water and its mass will increase.

What is a gene? Can someone tell me what is Euchromatin? Is Euchromatin also called a Gene? What's the difference between these
julsineya [31]

Answer:

In biology, a gene is a basic unit of heredity and a sequence of nucleotides in DNA or RNA that encodes the synthesis of a gene product, either RNA or protein. During gene expression, the DNA is first copied into RNA.

Euchromatin is a lightly packed form of chromatin that is enriched in genes, and is often under active transcription. Euchromatin comprises the most active portion of the genome within the cell nucleus. 92% of the human genome is euchromatic.

The genes present in heterochromatin are usually inactive. The genes present in euchromatin are either already active or will be active during growth. Heterochromatin is transcriptionally-inactive. Euchromatin is transcriptionally. (This one here is the difference)
