How do power plants hurt the environment?

Biology
1 answer:
djverab [1.8K]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

A power plant can hurt the environment in different ways and the effects can either cause permanent damage or temporary damage.

Many power plants use fossil fuels as a source of energy. As a result, fossil fuels such as natural gas, coal, oil etc become depleted.

Water is used abundantly by the power plants to cool down various products or for many other processes. When this contaminated water is released in the rivers it becomes harmful for the wildlife animals and plants. It leads to eutrophication.

Power plants also tend to release many harmful gases into the air and cause environmental pollution.

Which of the following statements regarding structure and function of organelles is correct?
damaskus [11]

Answer:

The correct answer is d Lysosomes contain enzymes to breakdown damaged cellular material.

Explanation:

Lysosomes are called digestive organelle that contain many hydrolytic enzymes such as acid hydrolase ,peptidase, nuclease etc which aids in the digestion of various cellular components such as carbohydrates,protein,nucleic acid.

      Lysosome perform the same function by the formation of auto phagolysosome which contain the those cellular molecules and organelles those are targeted for degradation.

mixer [17]

<u>Answ</u>er:

False ,Cellular respiration not is the oxygen dependent process through which food molecules are broken down and the energy released used to generate atp.

<u>Explanation</u>:

Glycolysis is the primary phase in the collapse of glucose to abstract energy for cellular metabolism. Almost every living organisms bring out glycolysis as step of their metabolism. The method does not use oxygen and is hence anaerobic. Glycolysis occurs in the cytoplasm of equally prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells. Glucose arrives into the heterotrophic cells in two ways.

1.     Over secondary active movement in which the movement occurs against the glucose concentration gradient.

2.     Over a cluster of vital proteins called GLUT proteins, also called as glucose movement proteins. These transporters helps in the simplified diffusion of glucose.

ycow [4]

Answer:

The process of reuptake occurs when the sending neuron normally reabsorbs excess neurotransmitter molecules.

Explanation:

The process of reuptake takes place when a cell that initially produced and emitted a particular substance reabsorbs it again. Serotonin is one of the secretions affected by this process since it can be reabsorbed if it sticks to receptors located in the original nerve where it was produced to be then released once again.

What specific event triggers the uncovering of the myosin binding site on actin?
Bess [88]
Striated muscles contain repeating sarcomeres of overlapping arrays of long, thin actin and thicker myosin filaments. Myosin filaments contains the myosin heads, which are enzymes that can bind to actin, split and make use of the energy from ATP. When muscle contraction starts, myosin heads bind to actin, change their configuration on actin, liberating the products of ATP hydrolysis and causing slide of the actin and myosin filaments. The action of the proteins troponin and  tropomyosin on the actin filaments regulates vertebrae striated muscle contraction. The release of calcium ions from the sarcoplasmic reticulum is triggered by the nervous stimulation which causes depolarization of muscle membrane. Calcium ions bind to troponin and thus cause or allow the tropomyosin strands on the actin filament to move so that the part of the actin surface where myosin heads need to bind is uncovered. Contraction then occurs and only stops when the sarcoplasmic reticulum pumps calcium out of the muscle interior.

So basically, what triggers the uncovering of the myosin binding site on actin is the calcium ions binding to troponin and changing configuration.
