Answer:

<em>The correct option is A) sandstone aquifer</em>

Explanation:

Groundwater can simply be described as water which is present inside the Earth's surface in structures called aquifers. Aquifers are materials which have an ideal porosity and permeability which allow water to flow through them. Aquifers  are materials like sand, silt or rocks.

Sandstone aquifers can trap waste particles like bacteria while allowing the water to easily flow. Hence, they can be used for sewage from a ruptures septic tank.

In photosynthesis, redox reactions ultimately transfer electrons from ______ to ______.
german

The correct answer is: D) H2O… CO2

Redox reactions are reactions of reduction (molecules tend to gain electrons) and oxidation (molecules tend to lose electrons).

Photosynthesis is a set of redox reactions. In photosynthesis electrons are removed from water (H2O) to carbon dioxide CO2 and then used to turn CO2 into organic compounds.  

The first step: Oxygen in water is oxidized (light energy required)

The second step: Carbon in CO2 is reduced; sugar is formed (dark reaction).
