Explanation:

Groundwater is the freshwater present below the earth's surface. It originates from the rain, ice, melting snow.

Some anthropogenic sources of groundwater pollution are

  • Aluminum.
  • Sulfur.
  • Arsenic.
  • Nitrates.
  • Fluoride.

Groundwater pollution has more problems than surface water pollution because groundwater is mostly hidden and it is very difficult to view, manage and monitor.

Groundwater holds its contamination and pollutants that cause pollution whereas surface water rinses their contamination and pollutants.

Anastasy [175]

Answer:

The correct answer is option C. "arg+leu– or arg–leu+".

Explanation:

This bacteria is not able to growth on minimal medium or minimal medium  supplemented with leucine. This means that the bacteria needs external supplementation of amino acids to growth, either arginine or leucine. Therefore, this bacteria can have the genotypes of arg+leu– or arg–leu+, meaning that the bacteria is able to synthesize either of two amino acids, but not both, because if that was the case the bacteria would be able to growth on minimal medium.

Pyrimidine biosynthesis is allosterically inhibited by ATP. a. requires an intermediate found in urea biosynthesis. b. does not
brilliants [131]

Answer:

requires an intermediate found in urea biosynthesis

Explanation:

Both pyrimidine and urea are carbon and nitrogen containing compounds. Carbamoyl phosphate provides both carbon and nitrogen in biosynthesis pathways of both pyrimidine and urea. Hence, it is an intermediate in both the pathways.

In urea biosynthesis carbamoyl phosphate provides its carbamoyl group to ornithine. In pyrimidine synthesis it donates the carbamoyl group to aspartate. Carbamoyl phosphate synthetase synthesizes carbamoyl phosphate by joining ammonium ions to carbon dioxide and adenosine triphosphate.
