What roles do the additional leachate management and gas collection systems play at Fresh Kills?

Answer:

“Landfill Systems: Final Cap, Landfill Gas Control Collection, Leachate Control Collection and Cleaning, Stormwater Basins, Monitoring Systems”

Landfill gas is comprised of methane, carbon dioxide, water and other organic compounds. The Landfill Gas (LFG) System on site collects and controls gas emissions through a network of wells connected by pipes below the surface that convey the gas through a vacuum. Once collected, the gas is processed to pipeline quality (recovery for domestic energy use) at an on–site LFG recovery plant. Gas emissions, non–methane organic compounds (NMOCs) and other hazardous pollutants are reduced by almost 100%. LFG and its odor are prevented from entering the atmosphere. In addition to this active gas collection and recovery system, an additional safety system is in place to prevent the migration of gas off–site.

Leachate

Leachate is the liquid by–product of the breakdown of household waste. Once the final cover is placed on the landfill, the quantity of leachate produced diminishes considerably because the amount of water that comes in contact with waste is minimized. The goal of the leachate management system is to remove pollutants by containment, collection and treatment of leachate before it reenters the environment. All treated water is cleaner than the nearby Arthur Kill.

Which sequence below correctly illustrates the order in which proteins are synthesized? Question 5 options: RNA--> DNA -->
olchik [2.2K]

The correct sequence in which the proteins are synthesized is  DNA --> RNA --> Protein (B).

First the DNA is transcribed into RNA and then by translation RNA is converted into protein.

<h3>Protein Synthesis</h3>

  • Protein synthesis is the process of making protein molecules.

  • This process includes two processes, transcription and translation.

  • In transcription, the DNA act as a template to produce RNA. This is a three-step process, initiation, elongation, termination.

  • In translation, the RNA with the help of codons produces protein. This is also a three-step process: Initiation, elongation, and termination.

Thus, that's how proteins are made. And it is a repeated process.
