Chapter 43.2, Problem 1MI
Summary Introduction
Development of effective wastewater treatment is a major concern in environmental protection. There are different methods are followed to treat wastewater based on different criteria. The conventional wastewater treatment includes preliminary, primary, secondary and tertiary methods of wastewater treatment based on physical, chemical and biological processes. The treatment with active sludge is the most common wastewater treatment method by biological processes.

Students have asked these similar questions
Plants do not require oxygen to produce ATP.
A) True
B) False
The Flemish physician/plant physiologist Jan Baptista van Helmont was the first to publish his claim that the growth of plants (like willow trees) requires nutrition from which environmental source?
water (a hydrogen-containing source which we now designate as H2O)
sucrose (a carbon-containing source which we now designate as C12H22O11)
ammonia (a nitrogen-containing source which we now designate as NH3)
glucose (an oxygen-containing source which we now designate as C6H12O6)
methane (a carbon-containing source which we now designate as CH4)
Which of the following explains why pea plants in high soil nitrogen conditions have
so few rhizobial nodules on their roots?
When there is already high soil nitrogen there is a very large cost to having
rhizobial nodules.
The rhizobia bacteria in the nodules fix nitrogen when there isn't enough in the
soil, so when there is already high soil nitrogen there is no advantage for the pea
plant to expend the extra energy housing the rhizobia.
The rhizobia bacteria in the nodules use nitrogen when there isn't enough in the
soil, so in conditions of high soil nitrogen the plant tries to exclude the rhizobia
to keep the nitrogen for itself.
When there is already high soil nitrogen there is no benefit to the plant to
having rhizobial nodules, which can rob the plant of the high nitrogen supplies
so that the rhizobia bacteria do not have to fix the nitrogen themselves.
