What is point source pollution?

Biology
1 answer:
Anettt [7]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

  1. The United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) defines point source pollution as any contaminant that enters the environment from an easily identified and confined place.
  2. The classic image of a factory smokestack belching smoke and fumes into the air or an industrial discharge pipe pouring contaminated liquid into a river are some great examples of point source releases to the environment.
  3. Nonpoint source (NPS) pollution is pollution resulting from many diffuse sources, in direct contrast to point source pollution which results from a single source.

Hope this helps :)

How much slower would hydrogen peroxide likely be decomposed if catalase was not available in cells?
Daniel [21]

It will take 1,000,000 times slower for Hydrogen Peroxide to decompose

Hydrogen peroxide is a toxic compound that usually destroys cell membrane. Also, it is a byproduct of metabolism that must be broken down quickly because it can cause damage to the cells. Moreover, catalase is an enzyme that is found in almost all the living organism and function by catalysing the decomposition of hydrogen peroxide into water and oxygen. However, the decomposition of hydrogen peroxide is very slow and cannot sustain human life in the absence of catalase.
