Why is recycling paper cheaper then recycling plastics,metals and glass?

Biology
1 answer:
Alchen [17]4 years ago
6 0

In a normal, well-run landfill, paper bags do not biodegrade any faster over at least 40 years than plastic.” ... “They're three to five times bulkier than plastic, and you can see that yourself at the grocery. Landfills are closing down because they're full. From that perspective, plastic is much better than paper.”

The complicated molecules that make up living things usually contain carbon. Why is carbon so important in this molescules?
Alexxandr [17]
Answer and explanation;
Carbon is so important in the formation of complicated molecules in that;
-Carbon can form up to four  covalent bonds, and it can form reasonably strong bonds with nitrogen, oxygen, and other different types of atoms.
-Carbon also has an almost unique ability to form long chains with <span>C−C</span> linkages, and along the chain there can be regions of different reactivity.<span> 
Also </span><span>C−C</span><span> bond is unaffected by water, and therefore, if for example a cell, can be isolated from the aqueous medium.</span>

Approximately how many total ATP equivalents are generated by the complete oxidation of one molecule of acetyl CoA via the citri
kondor19780726 [428]

Answer:

C. 10 ATP molecules

Explanation:

In the citric acid cycle is a series of eight reactions steps in which a two-carbon molecule, acetyl-CoA, enters the cycle through citrate and two atoms of carbon are removed as two molecules of carbon dioxide.

The energy generated by the complete oxidation of one molecule of acetyl CoA via the citric acid cycle is conserved in the production of three NADH molecules, one FADH₂ and one ATP molecule. Each NADH molecule transfers two electrons to oxygen in the electron transport chain, forming 2.5 ATP molecules each in the process. Similarly, an FADH2 molecules transfers two electrons to oxygen in the electron transport chain yielding 1.5 ATP molecules.

Total ATP molecules produced:

3 NADH + 1 FADH2 + 1 ATP = (2.5 × 3) + (1.5 × 1) + 1 ATP = 10 ATP  molecules

Therefore, 10 ATP molecules are generated by the complete oxidation of one molecule of acetyl CoA via the citric acid cycle.

aev [14]

Answer:

Bird "A" has a broad, sturdy beak and bird "B" has a long, slender beak.

Explanation:

this is true because sturdier beaks are better adapted to consuming hard foods, whereas birds that have to be able to reach their beaks into holes or consume nectar would need slimmer beaks.
