Q. Explain the process of waste water treatment? Ans: The wastewater is treated through physical, chemical, and biological processes to remove the physical, chemical and biological contaminants. Physical - separates the large waste Biological- Adding of microorganisms to digest waste and produce oxygen in water Chemical- Chlorine and other chemicals are added into the water to finally purify it. Q. what is sewage? Ans: Wastewater is generated during various activities in homes, industries, hospitals, offices, and laundry services etc. This waste water is called sewage. Q. Explain the vercomposting toilet ?            Ans: Vermicomposting toilets are those which do not use water and are very environment friendly. They can be utilized in areas where water is a scarcity and can also be used in forests and other areas where sewage lines have not been built. This process uses worms for decomposition of waste. The waste is degraded in a container. Q. what are the p

Will the impact of removing all the organisms in a trophic level be different for different trophic levels? Can the organisms of any trophic level be removed without causing any damage to the ecosystem? Removal of all the organisms of a trophic level will affect the entire ecosystem of that area. Its impact on different trophic levels will be different because of the organisms of a trophic level are directly dependent on them while the organisms of other trophic level are indirectly depend on them for their food. For example, killing of herbivores will increase the number of carnivores and killing of carnivores will increase the number of herbivores. Most of the organisms will die of starvation. How do flows of energy occur in tropic level? Energy is used and conveyed from one trophic level to another is a food chain. This is called flow of energy. Green plants capture about 1% of the solar energy during photosynthesis. A part of this trapped energy is used by plants in perform
