Q1: Sewage is not an excellent medium for the growth of

ANS:A - aquatic creatures.

Sewage is not an excellent medium for the growth of aquatic creatures. Sewage typically contains high levels of pollutants, including organic matter, nutrients, and potentially harmful substances. While certain microorganisms may thrive in sewage due to the abundance of organic material, the overall conditions in sewage are generally unsuitable for the growth of aquatic creatures such as fish, amphibians, or larger invertebrates. These organisms require specific environmental conditions, including adequate oxygen levels, appropriate pH, and low levels of pollutants, which are typically not present in sewage. On the other hand, sewage can support the growth of microorganisms such as protozoa, bacteria, and viruses, especially if the sewage is untreated or poorly treated. However, while these microorganisms may proliferate in sewage, their presence can pose significant health risks to humans and the environment, making proper sewage treatment essential for reducing the transmission of waterborne diseases and protecting aquatic ecosystems.
