Microbes have important effects on their environment. For example, the microbes used in AST are important in oxidizing ammonia to nitrite and then reducing nitrite to nitrogen gas. This reduces the nitrogen content of the water that could otherwise stimulate unwanted microbial growth. Other microbes have different effects on their environment and understanding these is important to protecting human structures as well as using bacteria for processes such as AST. During conventional wastewater treatment, bacteria are also used to reduce the amount of organic and inorganic materials so that the water no longer supports substantial microbial growth. During secondary wastewater treatment, bacteria within sludge digesters break down organic materials into fatty acids H2 and CO2. These products are fermented to acetate, CO2 and H2. Finally, archaeans ferment acetate to form methane and carbon dioxide. Just by knowing this information, what is true of the bacteria used in sludge digesters

transcription is a process in which information is rewritten. it is something our cells must do, in a more specialized and narrowly defined way. in biology, transcription is the process of copying out the dna sequence of a gene in the similar alphabet of rna. it needs to happen in the nucleus because that's where the dna is. dna is always inside the nucleus unless the cell is dividing.

transcription is the first step in gene expression, which involves copying a gene's dna sequence to make an rna molecule. transcription is performed by rna polymerases. it has three stages: initiation, elongation, and termination. rna molecules must be processed after transcription in eukaryotes.

explanation:

long version:

the protein synthesis consists two processes which are, transcription and translation. transcription takes place in the nucleus. it uses dna as a template to make an rna molecule. rna then leaves the nucleus and goes to a ribosome in the cytoplasm, where translation occurs. transcription is the first part of the central dogma of molecular biology: dna → rna. it is the transfer of genetic instructions in dna to messenger rna (mrna). during transcription, a strand of mrna is made that is complementary to a strand of dna.  

these three stages are:

  initiation: in which   is the beginning of transcription.occuring when the enzyme rna polymerase binds to a region of a gene called the promoter. this signals the dna to unwind so the enzyme can ‘‘read’’ the bases in one of the dna strands. the enzyme is now ready to make a strand of mrna with a complementary sequence of bases.

    elongation: in which is the addition of nucleotides to the mrna strand. rna polymerase reads the unwound dna strand and builds the mrna molecule, using complementary base pairs. there is a brief time during this process when the newly formed rna is bound to the unwound dna. during this process, an adenine (a) in the dna binds to an uracil (u) in the rna.

    termination: in which is the ending of transcription, and occurs when rna polymerase crosses a stop (termination) sequence in the gene. the mrna strand is complete, and it detaches from dna.

answer: substrate concentration. enzymes work best when there is a high enough substrate concentration for the reaction they catalyse.

the answer is d p: cell, q: organ, r: organ system, s: tissue
