company called changing world technologies has built a pilot plant to test a process it has developed for converting a mixture of disgraded computers, old tires, turkey bones, and other wastes into oil by mimicking and speeding up natural processes for converting biomass into oil.

A microorganism is grown in a fermenter under steady-state conditions. The microorganism growth follows Monod kinetics and the following stoichiometric equation: C3H6O3 +a O2 +b NH3 → c biomass + d CO2 + e H₂O Given that the biomass yield is 0.415 grams of biomass per gram of substrate, determine the respiratory quotient.

What is the equation for photosynthesis showing the relationship between fluxes?

How can the physical properties of chlorophyll be used in measuring primary productivity in ecosystems? Hint: Can chlorophyll’s near infrared reflection be captured by special cameras?

what are the methods for the Agricultural residuls (biomass) to be an energy, specifically the bioenergy?

You grow cells from the same E. coli for 12 hours in two identical glucose-containing flasks under oxic conditions (Flask A) and anoxic conditions (Flask B). For each statement below, indicate (a) if it is an accurate statement, and (b) explain why. Observation i) Flask A will make more ATP ii) Flask B will have a higher amount of biomass Accurate Statement? Yes/No Yes/No Explain your choice

Describe the following metabolisms (photolithoautotroph, chemolithoautotroph, chemoorganoheterotroph, and photoorganotroph)   What is the carbon source for biomass for Autotrophs and Heterotrophs: What is the energy source for Chemotrophs and Phototrophs: What is the electron source for Lithotrophs and Organotrophs:

For questions 4 and 5 just say which kind they are (photoautotroph, chemoautotroph, photoheterotroph, or chemoheterotroph)

What are Coal Power and Renewable Energy? Which type of energy is more polluting? Why are we still using coal power? Which type of power are we using more of? What other interesting facts are there about this industry? How and why does the government protect this industry?

Why will alcoholic fermentation preserve the nutritive value of fruit juice or grains in the absence of refrigeration? O alcoholic fermentation will lower the pH to -1 thus killing all microbes who would use up the nutrients in the fruit juice of grain the ethanol/alcohol inhibits the growth of spoilage microbes which would destroy the nutritive value of the plant juice or grain O it won't- this is a trick question!! O alcoholic fermentation increases the salt concentration which in turn inhibits growth of spoilage microbes
