What would happen if oxygen availability to activated sludge flocs is reduced?
| 1. | It will slow down the rate of degradation of organic matter. |
| 2. | The center of flocs will become anoxic, which would cause the death of bacteria and eventually breakage of flocs. |
| 3. | Flocs would increase in size as anaerobic bacteria would grow around flocs. |
| 4. | Protozoa would grow in large numbers. |
During which stage of the sewage treatment are the microbes used?
| 1. | Primary | 2. | Secondary |
| 3. | Tertiary | 4. | Quaternary |

In the secondary treatment or biological treatment of sewage water, the primary effluent is passed into large aeration tanks where it is constantly agitated mechanically and the air is pumped into it. This allows:
1. vigorous growth of useful aerobic microbes into flocs
2. the decrease in the number of aerobes in the water
3. rapid increase in the count of methanogens
4. a dramatic decrease in the anaerobic methanogens
