Before it hits your tap, unfiltered water from the Catskills winds its way through 6,000 miles of pipes aqueducts and tunnels.

Most of New York City's water -- 90 percent -- comes from the Kensico Reservoir. It holds 30 billion gallons and then travels to the ultra violet treatment facility in Westchester County, where 12,000 bulbs treat 1 billion gallons of water a day.


Hope this helps

Which would least likely be able to cross the phospholipid bilayer of the cell membrane answers?
ruslelena [56]

Answer;

-Large polar molecule are list likely to cross the phospholipid bilayer.

Explanation;

-A large polar molecule would be the least likely to passively diffuse through a plasma membrane without the help of a transport protein. Both its size and the hydrophobic interior of the membrane would restrict it.

-Only small uncharged molecules can diffuse freely through phospholipid bilayers. Small nonpolar molecules, such as O2 and CO2, are soluble in the lipid bilayer and therefore can readily cross cell membranes.

-Ions and large polar molecules cannot pass through the lipid bilayer. But more specifically, whether a molecule can pass through the membrane depends on its size and its electrical nature.

(Select all that apply.) Which of the following does the plant need in order for it to germinate and develop? genetic informatio
tatuchka [14]

Answer:

genetic information, energy, soil

Explanation:

Germination is the term used to describe the set of steps that allow the development of an embryo within the seed of the plant. The development of this ambrion will result in the emergence of a seedling that will develop and form a very important plant for the ecosystem. In short, germination is the process of transforming the seed into a new plant.

In order for this to occur, the seed needs some factors that degrade its entire development. These factors are genetic information, energy and soil

True or false the water table is the lower surface of a aquifer
8090 [49]

Answer:

True

Explanation:

Groundwater is the water present beneath Earth's surface in soil pore spaces and in the fractures of rock formations. A unit of rock or an unconsolidated deposit is called an aquifer when it can yield a usable quantity of water. The depth at which soil pore spaces or fractures and voids in rock become completely saturated with water is called the water table. Groundwater is recharged from the surface; it may discharge from the surface naturally at springs and seeps, and can form oases or wetlands. Groundwater is also often withdrawn for agricultural, municipal, and industrial use by constructing and operating extraction wells. The study of the distribution and movement of groundwater is hydrogeology, also called groundwater hydrology.
