Answer:

A.  Nuclear reactors increase thermal pollution

Explanation:

From the analogy provided in this context, we can vividly see that the author is suggesting that the use of nuclear energy causes thermal pollution.

  • Nuclear energy is an alternate energy source as identified in the text.
  • Since a huge amount of heat energy is generated and they are not all used up, they are released into the ecosystem.
  • The earth is usually depicted as heat reservoir.
  • Increased release of heat to the environment will cause thermal pollution.
  • This increases the ambient temperature of water and degrades it.

When referring to cell division, oncogenes are most like ________ while tumor suppressor genes are most like ________. the brake
Inga [223]

Oncogenes are most like the gas pedal on a car, while tumor suppressor genes are most like the brakes on a car. Oncogenes and tumor suppressor genes are mutated in cancer cells.

Oncogenes are genes overexpressed in cells in which they should not be expressed, thereby leading to cancer.

Some examples of oncogenes are growth factors such as, for example, the  Platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) or Epidermal growth factor (EGF).

Conversely, tumor suppressor genes are genes that act to regulate cell division and replication, thereby their inactivation also leads to cancer.

A well-known example of a tumor suppressor gene is the p53 gene that acts to control cell division and apoptosis (programmed cell death).

oksian1 [2.3K]

Answer:

The benefits that we can get in using the technologies of transport water are the following:

 

1.       Less Maintenance Cost

2.       Cheaper cost

3.     There will be knock-on welfares as products will be industrialized with new applications where the price acceptance is much lower

4.     As these technologies progress and learn to treat high measurements of water, we will see cheaper, more filtered treatment systems and we will start to move away from enormous unified treatment systems.

5.     The technologies help to remove any matters from water, microbes, and bacteria
