One of the many awe-inspiring things about algae, Professor Greene explains, is that they can grow between ten and 100 times faster than land plants. In view of this speedy growth rate – combined with the fact they can thrive virtually anywhere in the right conditions – growing marine microalgae could provide a variety of solutions to some of the world’s most pressing problems.
Take, global warming. Algae sequesters CO2, as we have learned, but owing to the fact they grow faster than land plants, can cover wider areas and can be utilised in bioreactors, they can actually absorb CO2 more effectively than land plants. AI company Hypergiant Industries, for instance, say their algae bioreactor was 400 times more efficient at taking in CO2 than trees.
And it’s not just their nutritional credentials which could solve humanity’s looming food crisis, but how they are produced. Marine microalgae grow in seawater, which means they do not rely on arable land or freshwater, both of which are in limited supply. Professor Greene believes the use of these organisms could therefore release almost three million km2 of cropland for reforestation, and also conserve one fifth of global freshwater

Delta G is negative and Delta S is positive.
An ELEMENT is a substance that cannot be broken down into other substances by ordinary chemical procedures. Some easy examples would be: <span>gold, iron, carbon, </span>hydrogen<span>, </span>oxygen<span>, nitrogen.</span>
4CO2 is 4 molecules of CO2. CO2 consists of one carbon atom and two oxygen atoms.
It is always true that the rate at which a solute dissolves can be increased by grinding. The smaller the solute the easier it will dissolve in the solvent, while other facts play into the rate at which a solute dissolves in a solvent, a major part of this is also how small the solute is. You can think of how rock salt is harder to dissolve in water compared to finely ground salt.
It is sometimes true that as the temperature of a solvent decreases, the solubility of a solute increase. The reason for this is that for liquids and solids as temperature increases the solubility increases but for gasses, as the temperature increases the solubility decreases.
It is always true that stirring a solute when adding it to a solvent should increase the rate of its dissolving. however, this will not increase the amount that is able to be dissolved in the solution.
It is never true that Henry's law states that the solubility of a gas in a liquid is a function of temperature. Henry's law is a gas law that was determined by William Henry in 1803. The law dictates that when in constant temperature the amount of gas that dissolves in a given volume of a liquid is proportional directly to the partial pressure of the gas at equilibrium with the desired liquid. In simpler terms, the solubility of the gas in a certain liquid is proportional to the partial pressure of the gas above the liquid.
It is always true that two liquids that dissolve in each other are miscible. Miscibility is described as the property of liquids and other substances to mix in all proportions and forming homogeneous solutions.
