Emission of toxin and generation of ash is related only with incinerators. Draining of liquid and requirement of substantial amount of land is related with landfills only. Generation of energy and release of greenhouse gases is related with both landfills as well as incinerators.

<h3>What are incinerators?</h3>

An incinerator is a waste-burning furnace. Pollution control equipment, such as flue gas cleaning, is included in modern incinerators.

Incinerator plant designs include moving grate, fixed grate, rotary kiln, and fluidized bed.

The descriptions can be as follows:

  • Generation of energy - Both, landfills produce methane gas, which is used to generate electricity, and incinerators produce heat energy, which is also used to generate energy.
  • Emission of toxins through combustion - Incinerators emit dioxins, a hazardous chemical.
  • Draining of liquids into the ground - this is a common problem at all landfill sites.
  • Emission of greenhouse gases - Both landfills and incinerators emit methane and other carbon gases.
  • Necessitates a significant amount of land - landfill site, necessitates a large amount of land to dump city waste
  • Production of ash - Incinerator only.

Thus, these can be the description applies to landfills, incinerators, or both.

Reabsorption of filtered glucose from the filtrate into the cells of the proximal tubule is by: Reabsorption of filtered glucose
marysya [2.9K]

Answer: A(secondary active transport)

Explanation:

Secondary active transport, is transport of molecules across the cell membrane which utilizes energy created by co-transporter pumping of ions across the membrane in an electrochemical gradient.

The reabsorption of glucose from the proximal tubule occurs via secondary active transport.

The reabsorbption of glucose does not depend the concentration gradient but on the reabsorption of sodium a co-transporter.

ATP is used in the movements of Na+/K+. Energy is also produced from sodium electrochemical gradient concentration and it is enough energy to transport glucose across the membrane into the epithelial cells.

Why might more and more people be using clean energy instead of fossil fuels ? Use evidence from the text to support your answer
GalinKa [24]

Answer:

I don't have the information from the text book but. People might more and more be using clean energy instead of fossil fuel is because fossil fuel is limited. It's a non-renewable, it takes millions of years to form. Also because global warming is making a big impact on our planet, using clean energy instead of fossil fuel can reduce slow green house emission.
