Biosorption is a physiochemical process that occurs naturally in certain biomass which allows it to passively concentrate and bind contaminants onto its cellular structure.[1] Biosorption can be defined as the ability of biological materials to accumulate heavy metals from wastewater through metabolically mediated or physico-chemical pathways of uptake.[2] Though using biomass in environmental cleanup has been in practice for a while, scientists and engineers are hoping this phenomenon will provide an economical alternative for removing toxic heavy metals from industrial wastewater and aid in

A DECREASE in the density of a sample of a gas inside a balloon could be caused by A) putting the balloon in the refrigerator. B
GrogVix [38]

When a mass of air is heated it becomes less dense. This is why a hot air balloon rises in the atmosphere. It is also the same reason why hot air rises and the moisture in it condenses to form clouds. The cooler less dense air mass moves downards (in some convection currents fashion) in to replace the hot rising air.

arsen [322]

Answer:

The answer is C

Explanation: The random change in the gene pool is due to genetic drift. Remember, genetic drift occurs at a more rapid rate when the population size is reduced. The flood is a random occurrence. It could have as easily been a drought.
