Which of the following practices that are needed to run a nuclear power plant has a negative impact on both air and water

Biology
1 answer:
BartSMP [9]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

The options are

a.cooling of the power plant

b.mining of uranium

c.storage of radioactive waste

d.monitoring the reactor

The answer is b.mining of uranium

Explanation:

Uranium is known as a radioactive element which is used as a fuel to power a nuclear energy plant. Mining of uranium could cause it to mix with air and water which results in contamination.

When contamination occurs and it gets into the body of humans or animals by inhalation or ingestion it poses a high risk of cancer and kidney damage.

The bacterial transduction experiments done by Hershey and Chase, and the bacterial transformation experiments done by Griffith,
Katarina [22]

Answer:

Hershey Chase  and Griffith experiment supported the same conclusion which was: DNA is the molecular substance of genetic inheritance.

Explanation:

Both experiments have was based on different phenomenon and techniques to prove same conclusion.

Hershey and chase conducted an experiment via bacteriophage which consists to DNA and protein coat that infects bacterial cells. He proved the DNA as genetic material by the help of transduction mechanism (Incorporation of Bacteriophage DNA in to bacterial cells). He used two group of Bacteriophage 1st group of Phage contain radioactively labelled proteins by Sulphur 32 isotope. While 2nd group contain Bacteriophage having P32 labelled DNA to infect Bacterial cells. After the infection, the Reaction tubes subjected to centrifuge and presence of radioactivity was determined in pellet and supernatant. The 1st group show radioactivity in supernatant while 2nd group shows racdioactivity in pellet or bacterial cells.

Griffiths just hypothesized a substance that can be transmitted from dead organism to alive organisms with the help of transformation phenomenon (uptake of Genetic material from the surrounding or environment). He conducted his experiments on <em>Streptococcus pneumonia avirulent and virulent species. </em>By mixing dead virulent species and live avirulent species and injecting into the mice results in the death of an experimental animal. While alone dead virulent species and live avirulent species fail to cause disease in mice.

The graph below shows ocean data relating to climate change. Explain why both the atmospheric and seawater carbon dioxide levels
rosijanka [135]
A. Carbon dioxide levels are increasing in the air, and the ocean is absorbing carbon dioxide; atmospheric levels are increasing so much that the increase is still apparent even with increasing absorption of carbon dioxide by the ocean. Research conducted by the University of Miami (UM) has found that the waters of the North Atlantic absorbed 50 percent more carbon dioxide of human origin in the last ten years than in the past decade.
The results of the study show the impact that the burning of fossil fuels has had on the world's oceans in the last ten years

Why are a plants stomata generally open during the day and closed at night brainly?
bagirrra123 [75]
To keep in the stored enzymes so it can keep synthesizing at night, even when there is no sunlight. -- Stomata serve two main functions - they allow carbon dioxide to reach the cells in the leaf where the majority of photosynthesis takes place and they allow water to be transpired out off the leaf. During the day, stomata are generally open to allow photosynthesis to take place as quickly as possible. At night, when the lack of light means photosynthesis can't take place, many plants close their stomata to reduce water loss. There is one group of mainly desert plants, known as CAM plants, that keep their stomata closed during the day when water loss would be greatest, and open them at night, using a biochemical method to effectively store carbon dioxide in the leaf overnight.
