How can microalgae be used to create biodiesel

Biology
1 answer:
mestny [16]3 years ago
8 0

The oil extracted through these methods is referred to as "green crude" and it's not ready to be used as fuel until it undergoes another process called transesterification. This step adds more substances to the mix, including alcohol and a chemical catalyst that causes the alcohol to react with the oil. This reaction creates a mix of biodiesel and glycerol. The final step in processing separates the glycerol from the mixture and leaves a biodiesel that's ready to be used as fuel. Maybe one day it really will be easy being green.

How do you find the sequence of bases on a DNA strand?
gizmo_the_mogwai [7]

Answer:

First of all, make sure that you indicate on the question itself the directionality of the sequence: which makes this (by convention) 5′ AGCTCAG 3′. We assume that any sequence written without the 5′ and 3′ designations is from the sense strand, and reads from 5′ on the left to 3′ on the right. Therefore, the complementary sequence, which is being asked for, must go from 3′ to 5′ as matched up (because it runs in the opposite direction). So, this is 3′ TCGAGTC 5′. It is true that we often write sequences without the formal directionality indicators, and if so, we do it from 5′ to 3′. However, if you put “CTGAGCT” as your answer, experience tells me that you have a very good chance of getting it marked wrong (unless your instructor is testing you all with a little tricky questioning).
