Question
The over-application of ammonia-based fertilizers is toxic to tomato plants; however, a 2014 study conducted by researchers in Spain found that transgenic overexpression of phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase and/or malic enzyme increased the tolerance of tomato plants to excess ammonia exposure. Provide a reasonable explanation for this observation.

The process consists of the following: A. The coconuts are preprocessed (the preprocessing method doesn't need to be represented on the diagram) to produce coconut milk and “dry" coconut oil. B. The coconut oil passes through an "Oil Heater" (fuel-type) before entering a reactor (open-tank, stirred). C. Methanol and a small amount of sodium hydroxide (NaOH, acting as a catalyst) are mixed together in a mixer (open-tank, stirred), and the resulting mixture also enters the reactor described in B. D. In the reactor (described in B), the methanol and coconut oil react to form biodiesel and glycerol. Two streams leave the reactor: crude biodiesel (also containing some water and residuals) and glycerol (also containing…arrow_forward7.5 gof a certain Compound X , known to be made of carbon, hydrogen and perhaps oxygen, and to have a molecular molar mass of 70./gmol , is burned completely in excess oxygen, and the mass of the products carefully measured:arrow_forwardi need the answer quicklyarrow_forward

Derive the instantaneous selectivity equations for each sets of reactions considering two reactor temperatures (i.e. 100°C or 900°C). Make sketches of your reactor system to clearly illustrate your operation strategy. The reaction rates are in mol/(dm.s) and the concentrations are in mol/dm³.
