How to use bacteria as a treatment for sewage waste

Biology
2 answers:
Andrei [34K]3 years ago
7 0

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.

Explanation:

Gametes are produced by mitosis (not meiosis) and after fertilization a diploid zygote is created. The single zygote cell never grows or divides my mitosis. It can only divide by meiosis to produce haploid cells once more, which then produce the main adult body.

An operational definition is used for a behavior so that
dezoksy [38]

An operational definition is used for a behavior so that the behavior can be properly described and understood. Without an operational definition, it would be difficult to describe behavior without being subjective. Therefore, behavior cannot be understood and cannot be correctly addressed. It is also important to understand how behavior functions so that the antecedents and consequences of behavior can be observed. Thus, what reinforces or affects the behavior can be better understood. Lastly, an operational definition is objective and specific, therefore, behavior can be described across different settings and times.
