What organisms break down chemical wastes in a treatment plant?

Biology
2 answers:
nadya68 [22]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

Heterotrophic microbes, bacteria

Explanation:

The chemical waste is digested in a treatment plant with the help of microbial action. The heterotrophic bacteria present in the waste serve in the process. These bacteria digest the organic matter present in the waste into simpler substances and thereby help in making the waste less polluting before its disposal into the environment.  

For example, methanogens anaerobically breakdown the organic matter present in the sewage and also produce useful biogas.

In order to carry out the testcross, you should cross your original pea plant with another pea plant whose phenotype is ________
Makovka662 [10]
<span>My pea plant has an unknown genotype for flowers, whether it has two dominant traits for white flowers (WW) or one dominant and one recessive (Ww) leading to white flowers; therefore I am doing a testcross in order to determine the genotype of my pea plant. The best plant to do this with is one that has a phenotype of purple flowers (ww) - that is, it is homozygous for the recessive trait. If I use a homozygous recessive plant, I know exactly what its genotype is. I don't have to worry about whether it's got one or two dominant alleles; I know that at least half of my alleles are going to be the recessive w. This makes identifying the offspring's genotype very simple. If I find that the offspring have at least some purple flowers among them, I know that my original plant had to be Ww; that is it had to have one dominant and one recessive allele for the flower color gene. If, however, all of the offspring are white flowers, I know that my original pea plant had both dominant alleles (WW).</span>

Why is it hard to say whether viruses are alive or not
MissTica
"Viruses straddle the definition of life. They lie somewhere between supra molecular complexes and very simple biological entities. Viruses contain some of the structures and exhibit some of the activities that are common to organic life, but they are missing many of the others. In general, viruses are entirely composed of a single strand of genetic information encased within a protein capsule. Viruses lack most of the internal structure and machinery which characterize 'life', including the biosynthetic machinery that is necessary for reproduction. In order for a virus to replicate it must infect a suitable host cell".
