Explanation:

Biological wastewater treatment is the most common method of sanitation in the world. This technology uses different types of bacteria and other micro-organisms for the treatment and cleaning of polluted water.

Wastewater treatment is as essential to human health as it is to environmental protection. Indeed, the use of these bacteria accelerates the treatment of pollution on a small surface: the purification plant. It’s better than letting the river handle it, because even though it’s the same purification process that occurs in nature, the quantities of pollution discharged today are too high to keep the natural cycle intact.

Thus, sewage treatment plants can prevent eutrophication of rivers, for example, but also prevent the diffusion of diseases.

Municipal and industrial effluent is the main source of wastewater. And thanks to the use of micro-organisms, we are able to degrade the content of these organic wastes as they are used as a source of food and energy to grow and multiply.

Answer: hope this helps

Explanation:

Aerobic bacteria use oxygen, which is added mechanically, to break down wastewater contaminants, converting it into energy. Bacteria use this energy to grow and reproduce. Anaerobic bacteria obtain oxygen from their food source. As anaerobic bacteria break down sludge, they produce methane gas. This methane gas can be used as an alternative energy source, called biogas, to fuel the wastewater treatment process.

<h3>Your answer is D.</h3>

The insects are the same species.

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

A species is a group of similar organisms able to reproduce (to exchange genes and interbreed) only within the group. That means that organisms from different species could not exchange genes. Since mentioned insect groups are able to reproduce and produce offspring that could also breed, these groups belong to the same species. If they could not reproduce and produce offspring that could also breed, these groups would belong to the different species.

babunello [35]

<u>Answer:</u>

CCGAGU

<u>Explanation:</u>

DNA transcription:

DNA transcription is the process through which DNA double helical strand is converted into single stranded RNA molecule.

During transcription two strands of DNA are named differently i.e Template strand and coding strand.

Template strand:

Strand from which RNA is producing is known as template strand while

Coding strand:

The strand which is opposite to the template strand is known as the coding strand. Coding strand is the DNA strand whose nucleotide sequence resembles to the RNA transcript base sequence except thymine which is replaced by uracil.

Correct Answer:

Template strand from 5' to 3' reads GGCTCA. and

In this question CCGAGT is coding strand.

RNA sequence is same as coding sequence except T which is replaced by U so sequence of RNA becomes

Cerrena [4.2K]

Nerve that supply bone accompany blood vessels through the nutrient foramen. They are responsible for the innervation of the bone as well as its outer covering, the periostem, the inner lining of the medullary cavity, the endosteum, and the medullary cavity. The nerves that innervates these structures are mainly sensory nerves that signal injuries to the skeleton.

Blood vessels enter the bones from the periosteum through the nutrient foramen (a small opening or hole in the bone), where the nutrient artery enters and where one nutrient veins exists in bone. The blood vessels supply nutrients and oxygen required by cells and remove the waste products from the cells of the bones.

Endosteum functions to cover and lines the bone, it is an incomplete layer of cells that covers all internal surfaces of the bone within the medullary cavity. It contains the Osteoprogenitor cells, osteoblasts and osteoclasts which are important cells of the bone.

Periosteum on the other hand is a fibrous, thick membrane covering the external surface of the bone, apart from the articular cartilage on the epiphysis. It is made of two layers: the outer fibrous layer of dense irregular connective tissues that protects the bone from external structures, anchors the blood vessels and nerves to the surface of the bone. It also serves as an attachment site for ligaments and tendons. The inner cellular layer contains various cells which includes the osteoprogenitor, osteoclasts and osteoblasts.
