3. In 2008, Americans generated 250 million tons of nonhazardous municipal solid waste. Of that waste, • 54.2 percent was discarded
• 33.2 percent was recovered
• 12.6 percent was burned with energy recovery at 590 kWh of electricity per ton
Fill in the table to answer the following:
• How many tons were discarded, and what is the method by which solid waste is discarded?
• How many tons were recovered, and what are the methods of recovery?
• How many tons were burned, what was the method for producing electricity, and how much electricity was generated?
Discuss the positive and negative environmental impacts of eliminating one of the three endpoints.

Microtubular fibers that assist in the movement of chromosomes during nuclear division in conjunction with proteins, makes up the small and large organelle pieces that assemble prior to translation three-base nucleotide sequence that can complementarily pair with the functional transcript, allowing a particular material to be brought to a ribosome particular time in the cell cycle when the cell’s systems determine if the cellular conditions are appropriate to continue through the cycle time in the cell’s cycle when proteins are made and organelles are duplicated enzyme that allows proper nucleotide bonding during transcription specific dna sequence which will initiate gene transcription division of the cell’s cytoplasm specific bond that forms between two amino acids when a carboxyl group binds to a amino group three-base sequence that does not code for a particular amino acid a paired organelle which facilitates the formation of movement microtubules time in the cell’s cycle when the microtubular structures exert an equal pressure on the cell’s genetic material
