Why might increased turbidity increase the chance of something harmful being in the water

Biology
1 answer:
sergejj [24]3 years ago
8 0

In drinking water, the more turbid it appears, the higher the chance that  those using it could end up with  gastrointestinal diseases.  The water may be having contaminants such as viruses and pathogenic bacteria which are found attached to suspended solids. These solids may interfere with disinfection of the water.

Erosion and effluent from highly urbanized  areas contribute to the turbidity of water in those areas.  In open bodies of water, organisms such as phytoplankton can contribute to turbidity in the water.

What is a reducing sugar?
icang [17]
Reducing sugar is any sugar (all monosaccharides, some disaccharides, oligosaccharides, and polysaccharides) that is capable of acting as a reducing agent because it contains free aldehyde group or free ketone group.

Aldehyde group or alkanal is an organic compound containing formyl group. The formyl group is a functional group consisting of a carbonyl center bonded to hydrogen and an R group. This group can be readily reduced to primary alcohol with the help of catalyctic hydrogenation either applied directly or by transfer hydrogenation.

Ketone group unlike aldehyde group does not have a hydrogen atome bonded to the carbonyl group but it can still be hydrogenated.

How a polymer molecule is synthesised by glucose?
Kay [80]

Answer:

As a new covalent connection develops between the two glucose molecules, one loses a <em>H group,</em> the other loses an<em> OH group</em>, and a <u>water molecule is freed</u>.

<h2>Why does glucose form a polymer despite being a stable molecule?</h2>

The formation of glucose polymers (glycogen, starch, cellulose) requires the input of energy from uridine triphosphate (UTP). Any tiny molecules must be converted into bigger molecules, which is compatible with the second rule of thermodynamics. Building proteins from amino acids, nucleic acids from nucleotides, fatty acids and cholesterol from acetyl groups, and so on are examples. Energy is released when bigger molecules are broken down into smaller ones, which is compatible with the second rule of thermodynamics. Thus, glucose may be converted to CO2 and H2O, resulting in the production of ATP. While glucose is a tiny molecule and hence relatively "stable," it can exist at a potential energy level and may be used to build up (needs energy) or broken down (<em>produces</em> energy). All of these biochemical processes require the use of enzymes; otherwise, the activation energy of most reactions would require extremely long periods of time for random energy inputs to push the reactions in either direction, despite the fact that energy considerations favor spontaneous breakdown over synthesis.
