Nuclear power plants use the energy originating from the splitting or uranium atoms to produce steam, which in turn drives a turbine generator.
The main problem with this form of energy production is the byproduct from the nuclear reactors known as radioactive waste. Although it is no longer efficient for the energy production, this waste is still radiating large amounts of heat and radiation. Thus, they are very hazardous as they are fatal on direct exposure and can contaminate the environment.
Due to the extremely long half-life, long term storage for this waste is extremely problematic. However, if the decay rates were much faster, then the half-life would also be much shorter. Thus, short term storage solutions could be found.
Excepting the nuclear waste and the potential accidents (which are minimized in modern plants), nuclear energy does not immediately affect the climate on earth. With short half-lives, nuclear energy would perhaps become more popular than solar or wind energy as it is more reliable and efficient.
Answer:
B. Liquid water flowed on its surface
Answer:organisms that happen to share a common trait, even though they evolved
Explanation: polyphyletic groups have similar characteristics but
that have been grouped together
They do not share an immediate common ancestor.
The question is incomplete as it does not have the options which are:
A) most likely a bacterium.
B) most likely a eukaryote.
C) most likely an archaeon.
D) either a bacterium or an archaeon
C) most likely an archaeon.
Answer:
The correct answer will be option-C
Explanation:
Archaea is a domain of micro-organism which is distinct from the prokaryotic bacteria and the eukaryotes.
The domain was separate from the bacteria on the basis that the micro-organism lack the peptidoglycan layer present in the bacteria and the difference in the RNA.
Since in the given question, the organism shows the characteristics of a bacteria-like coccoid, lack a nucleus but the lack of peptidoglycan layer help determine that the microbe belongs to the Araceae.
Thus, Option-C is the correct answer.
Carboxyl group, amino group, side chain
