Chapter 40, Problem 55A
Make a list comparing the kinds of pollution resulting from fossil-fuel power plants and nuclear fission power plants. Share your list with somebody in your family.
Expert Solution & Answer
To determine
List of the pollution results from the fossil fuel power plant and nuclear fission power plant.
Explanation of Solution
Introduction:
The fossil fuel power plant and nuclear fission power plant pollutes the environment by exhausting waste from these power plants.
The list of pollutions from the fossil fuel power plant and nuclear fission power plant is following.
| Sr.No. | Fossil fuel power plant | Nuclear fission power plant |
| 1 | Air Pollution | Water pollution |
| 2 | Water pollution | Radioactive pollution |
| 3 | Thermal pollution | Thermal pollution |
| 4 | Soil pollution | Soil pollution |
Table (1)
Conclusion:
Thus, the types of pollutions from fossil fuel power plant and nuclear fission power plant are mentioned in the table (1).

- Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) is a helically-shaped bacterium that is usually found in the stomach. It burrows through the gastric mucous lining to establish an infection in the stomach's epithelial cells (see photo). Approximately 90% of the people infected with H. pylori will never experience symptoms. Others may develop peptic ulcers and show symptoms of chronic gastritis. The method of motility of H. pylori is a prokaryotic flagellum attached to the back of the bacterium that rigidly rotates like a propeller on a ship. The flagellum is composed of proteins and is approximately 40.0 nm in diameter and can reach rotation speeds as high as 1.50 x 103 rpm. If the speed of the bacterium is 10.0 μm/s, how far has it moved in the time it takes the flagellum to rotate through an angular displacement of 5.00 * 10² rad?
