"An engineer is assigned the task of reducing the air pollutants being released from a power plant that generates electricity by

burning coal. The engineer performs a variety of computer simulations to determine which techniques and methods would be most effective at reducing air pollution generated by the plant.The air pollutant that computer simulations would likely show as being the most reduced by the installation of electrostatic precipitators in exhaust systems"

Answer:

Particulate matter

Explanation:

An electrostatic precipitator is an air filter. For this reason, we can say that the air pollutant that would be captured if electrostatic precipitates were installed in the exhaust systems would be the particulate matter.

An electrostatic precipitator is very effective in controlling atmospheric pollution in an industry, factory or even a plant that emits polluting gases into the atmosphere. This equipment captures the polluting particles, leaving only the clean private gas to be transferred to the atmosphere.

Gnesinka [82]

Answer:

  • Fresh water fish have higher salt contents in their bodies than in their environments.
  • Marine fishes have less salt in their bodies than their environment
  • Terrestrial organisms have the challenge of water retention due to atmospheric contact.

Explanation:

FRESH WATER OSMOREGULATION

The salt concentration in salt water fish is higher than the concentration found in its environment (fresh water). This causes water to enter into the body of the fish through osmosis and without regulating processes, the fish is bound to swell and likely burst.To compensate for this challenge, the kidney in fresh water fish produces a large amount of urine, causing them to lose salt. To ensure too salt is not lost beyond the basic requirement, chloride cells in the gills take up ions from the water which are transported into the blood.

MARINE OSMOREGULATION

In marine fishes, the challenge opposes that of fresh water fishes since salt content in this case is lower in their blood than in their environment. To address this challenge, marine fishes lose water constantly while retaining salts to lead to a build up. The water lost, is then made up for and replenished by continual drinking of seawater. The chloride cells in marine fishes works in a manner opposing that of fresh water fish, functioning to compliment the excretion of salts by the kidney.

TERRESTRIAL OSMOREGULATION

The major challenge of osmoregulation in  terrestrial organisms is water regulation in the body owing to their contact with the atmosphere.

Terrestrial organisms possess effective kidneys which enable osmoregulation. A series of processes including filtration, re-absorption and tubular secretion, enable regulation of fluids and water conservation.

Water passes out of the descending limb of the loop of Henle, leaving a more concentrated filtrate inside. Salt diffuses out from the lower, thin part of the ascending limb. In the upper, thick part of the ascending limb, salt is then actively transported into the interstitial fluid. The amount of salt in the interstitial fluid, determines how much water moves out of the descending limb i.e the saltier it gets, the more water moves out of the descending limb. This process leaves a concentrated filtrate inside, so more salt passes out. Water from the collecting ducts moves out by osmosis into this hypertonic interstitial fluid and is carried away by capillaries, achieving osmoregulation.

Chymotrypsin
Georgia [21]

Answer: d. all of the above

Explanation:

Chymotrypsin is produced by the Pancreas and has the function of digesting proteins.It consists of three polypeptide chains connected by two inter-chain disulfide bridges. Chymotrypsin exerts an important biological function which is the hydrolysis of proteins in the small intestine. The cleavage of peptide bonds is selective, occurring only on the carboxyl side of aromatic side chains of tyrosine, tryptophan and phenylalanine, and large hydrophobic radicals such as methionine. Chymotrypsin also hydrolyzes ester
