Answer:

Nowadays energy generation heavily relies on fossil fuels causing environmental challenges. The global biofuels supply has increased by a factor of 8% since 2010, but only comprises 4% of the world’s transport fuels in 2015. The development of next generation of biofuel becomes increasingly important due to the depletion of fossil fuels and in the meantime to overcome challenges for current biofuels production – high cost and low efficiency. The biological production of lipid droplets in oleaginous microorganisms like microalgae, yeast, fungi, and bacteria becomes a promising path to the next generation of biofuels.

The lipid droplet (LD) is a cellular organelle that consists of a neutral lipid, mainly of triacylglycerols (TAGs) and cholesteryl esters, cored with a monolayer-phospholipid membrane and associated proteins. Lipid droplets widely exist in both prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells, could be collected and extracted for biofuel manufacturing. However, this technology is now limited in lab research. Methods to improve the lipid droplet production in oleaginous microorganisms, biomass pretreatment, lipid droplet extraction, industrial scalability are still under development. The experience of liposome manufacturing provides us a solid ground for lipid droplet studies and helps our clients move to a further step of new biofuel development.

Answer:

D and B

Explanation:

We know that seeds need optimal amounts of water, oxygen, temperature, and light to germinate. Therefore the student would need to provide warmth because its winter and water because that would satisfy the need for moisture. Hope this helps!

Lesson Question:How can the presence of
kobusy [5.1K]

The given question is incomplete question as it lack essential part of question which is :

Ex: Write a hypothesis about the worms and lima bean plants. Be sure to answer the lab question.

Answer:

The correct answer would be : If plants grow in soil with worms, then growth of the lima bean plant will be greater due to worms helps in decomposing organic matter.

Explanation:

In this hypothesis the one species benefits other species in the same ecosystem they both exist. According to the hypothesis presence of the worms helps in the growth of the lima bean plants.

Dependent variable is a variable that depends on change in independent variable. Here the change in the presence of worms affects the growth of the bean plants so, the dependent variable is bean plant and the independent variable is presence of the worms.

Thus, the correct answer is : If plants grow in soil containing worms, then plant growth will be greater, because worms help decompose organic matter

maks197457 [2]

Answer:

If the paired chromosomes fail to separate during meiosis in the female, then the resulting daughter cells will receive either 2 or no copies of chromosome 21. If the resulting egg with 2 copies of chromosome 21 is fertilized with a normal sperm, the resulting zygote with be trisomy 21
