While dry cleaners are small businesses, they generate relatively large volumes of hazardous substances. EPA estimates the average dry cleaner generates 660 gallons of hazardous wastes a year. Unlike petroleum contamination which may break down over time by naturally - occurring bacteria in the environment, the chlorinated solvents that are used by dry cleaners are resistant to biodegradation. As a result, groundwater contamination from dry cleaners has a greater potential to migrate off-site which can be problematic since dry cleaners are often located within proximity to residential neighborhoods. Indeed, a 2002 Florida study found that dry cleaner contamination had migrated off-site at 57 percent of the contaminated sites. Due to these types of environmental hazards when commercial land is sold require a Phase 1 Environmental Assessment according to the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act. Why would the type of monitoring required as part Phase 1 Environmental Assessments be important if a dry cleaner was being sold?

Group of answer choices

This type of monitoring will allow the government to only sell land to businesses that have environmentally friendly practices.

The monitoring will allow the government to determine which type of business is better for the environment so dangerous businesses can be closed.

The monitoring will indicate any environmental damage done that should be remediated prior to selling the land.

The monitoring prevents the land from being resold to any dry cleaning businesses which can be damaging to the environment.

Part e - sequence of metabolic processes each of the different cellular metabolic pathways occurs in a specific order. consider aerobic cellular metabolism from the beginning to end. what is the sequential order of the metabolic processes that starts with glucose and results in the production of carbon dioxide, water, and atp? put the following in the correct sequential order. rank from earliest to latest. to rank items as equivalent, overlap them. view available hint(s) acetyl coaglycolysiscitric acid cycle pyruvate finishstartstart background image electron transport chain background image finish background image submit cellular metabolism is often expressed as an equation. this equation puts into perspective, on a general scale, the substances needed to start cellular metabolism and the products that come out of it. the equation represents the overall product yield after every step of cellular metabolism is complete (i. e., glycolysis through the electron transport system). in this part of the tutorial you task will be to put together the equation that represents cellular metabolism. you will also learn the products that result from each metabolic pathway and the role that some these products play in the production of atp.
