1. Correct
2. Aka subimago, so I guess that's correct
3. Correct, some proctors are anal so E. coli infection is probably better

Your turn.

1. What are the two steps of sludge treatment?
2. What is the average water residence time in a lentic and lotic ecosystem?
3. Identify this organism (it's upside down) and explain its importance as an indicator species. (Check your answer in the image url.)

1. Thickening and dewatering
2. No clue. 3,000 and 4,000 years
3. Water penny. Not sure on what level of specificity you're looking for, so I'll go with it indicates oxygen-rich and fast-moving water.

1 and 3 are correct, the answers for 2 are 10 years and 2 weeks, respectively. Your turn!

1 and 3 are good, but for 2 I specified "natural", so I was looking for dead organisms. Your turn.

1. It is the same thing
2. limited temperature tolerances, high oxygen needs, strong
swimming ability and specialized reproductive strategies to prevent eggs or larvae being swept
away.
3. Both found in lentic communities and can be invasive species and block out sunlight
