Sewage sludge (biosolids) removed from a municipal wastewater treatment plant is a mixture of organic material and water. Research and explain why the incineration of sewage sludge may require more energy than it produces. Explain why people may be reluctant to use biosolids as a fertilizer for food crops.

Answers

Answer 1

Hey love! <3

Answer:

Sewage systems are used all around the world transferring waste to treatment plants where they are filtered and traded in for organic material. If the sluge were to be incinerated it could be repurposed, however the gas used to burn the sewage waste comes from condensing saturated fuel oil and requires 195 SCM of natural gas to successfully complete the chemical transfer. That's a lot of energy, and the natural process costs plenty more then what you're getting in returns. Through the process toxins can develop inside of the incinerated waste which could poison crops and animals, studies also show the process can release carbon monoxide into the air. To conclude it's called sewage waste for a reason, what goes down should stay down instead of putting what we eat and inhale at stake.

Hope this helps out! (゚ヮ゚) Sincerely, Kelsey from Brainly.

Answer 2

The incineration of sewage sludge may require more energy than it produces because of the high cost of energy.

Municipal wastewater treatment plants are estimated to consume more  terawatt hours per year of electricity, which equates to about  billions in annual electric costs. That's a lot of energy, and the  results show that wastewater sludge able to produced up to 44.82 ml biogas/kg of sludge

People may be reluctant to use bio solids as a fertilizer for food crops.

because:-

One health risk with the land application of bio solids is the potential exposure to pathogens (disease causing organisms)One of the risk is that the bio solids may contain chemicals that are directly toxic in small concentrations or doses.

What is sewage sludge?

Sewage sludge is a product of wastewater treatment.

Wastewater enter the sewage system and flow into wastewater treatment facilities, where the solid wastes are separated from the liquid wastes through settling.It form Bio solids.

Starting on bare rock what is the usual ecological succession of organisms

Answers

Complete question:

Starting on bare rock, what is the usual ecological succession of organisms?

a)shrubs--grasses--lichens--trees

b)lichens--shrubs--grasses--trees

c)grasses--shrubs--lichens--trees

d)liches--grasses--shrubs--trees

Answer:

d)liches--grasses--shrubs--trees

Explanation:

The succession is the colonization of an open area and includes all the changes the area suffers since then. It is a sequence of events that involves the establishment of different species through time.

There are two types of succession, primary and secondary, depending on the magnitude of the alteration.

Primary succession refers to an open space with no living organisms, such as a bare rock exposed due to a retreating glacier, a volcanic activity, or an intense fire. If previous species were inhabiting this area, after the event, nothing is left.

In those cases where there is an alteration or disturbance at a site that opens the area, it allows new species to grow. With time, new species arrive and manage to establish again. The order of the establishment depends on the strategies of each of the species to survive.

First, pioneer species arrive. These are the first inhabitants, mostly lichens or moses with the capability of surviving in such an environment. Only a few pioneers can establish in the open space. Pioneers modify the habitat. They make it more suitable for the establishment of later species, converting rock into fertile soil. As conditions get better, new species arrive like grasses. Grasses and pioneers keep modifying the soil,  making it better with time. New species arrive, like small species, bushes and shrubs. Habitat modification keeps on going while new species establish (trees, pines, among other big species). They produce shadows, alter the temperature, and humidity, fertilizing the soil, competing for resources. Competition becomes more frequent between species. The first species are eventually eliminated by competition, but new species keep appearing and competing for resources. This sequence continues until the commuting reaches a climax, becoming stable and lasting for hundreds of years until another disturbance occurs.

Answer:

D. liches--grasses--shrubs--trees

Explanation:

primary ecological succession will be as: lichens inhabit bare rocks and breakdown the minerals rich material in the rock and die to produce organic material so that new species could be formed as grasses will grow which will become shrub and eventually the tree. Animals eat those grass, shrub or tree products.

Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) is a virus that infects (and destroys) Helper T Cells. As a result, people who are HIV+ generally have a low number of these T Cells. How would the dramatic decrease in Helper T Cells caused by HIV affect a person’s immune response? Be specific using details from what you learned about the immune response.

Answers

Answer:

HIV invades various immune cells (e.g., CD4+ T cells and monocytes) resulting in a decline in CD4+ T cell numbers below the critical level, and loss of cell-mediated immunity − therefore, the body becomes progressively more susceptible to opportunistic infections and cancer.

HIV infects and deletes CD4+ T cells that normally coordinate the adaptive T- and B-cell response to defend against intracellular pathogens. The immune defect is immediate and profound: At the time of acute infection with an AIDS virus, typically more than half of the gut-associated CD4+ T cells are depleted, leaving a damaged immune system to contend with a life-long infection.

If a hot liquid is poured into a cup, the cup will soon feel warm. How does the increase in temperature change the particles that make up the cup?

Answers

Answer:

Adding energy (heating) atoms and molecules increases their motion, resulting in an increase in temperature.

Removing energy (cooling) atoms and molecules decreases their motion, resulting in a decrease in temperature.

Energy can be added or removed from a substance through a process called conduction.

In conduction, faster-moving molecules contact slower-moving molecules and transfer energy to them.

During conduction the slower-moving molecules speed up and the faster-moving molecules slow down.

Temperature is a measure of the average kinetic energy of the atoms or molecules of a substance.

Heat is the transfer of energy from a substance at a higher temperature to a substance at a lower temperature.

Some materials are better conductors of heat than others.
