What is lipid droplets? Why can it be used as a new biofuel?

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.

What part of a fish helps it rise?Help ASAP​
8_murik_8 [283]
They use a internal pouch which is named swim bladder.




Explanation; Oxygen will enter a fish’s mouth, and passes through their gills. The oxygen will be taken and gets carried by hemoglobin through their bloodstream. Hemoglobin will take out some of the oxygen into their swim bladder. The amount of oxygen will show if they will sink or rise. Your question is how do they rise. If he goes up too much, the meaning of this is when the gas diffuses into their blood and out the gills.




Got this from a writing, but rephrased it.

Amiraneli [1.4K]

ANSWER:

(A) project be stopped to protect the ivory-billed woodpecker and all the other species of plants and animals.

EXPLANATION:

Option A (project be stopped to protect the ivory-billed woodpecker and all the other species of plants and animals) is most appropriate for a biocentric species egalitarian, because it provides equal rights and support for all forms of life without being baised on favoring sentient animals (animals who can feel and can be emotional).

NOTE: Species egalitarianism is the philosophic view that all living things have the same moral right and support and all forms of life have intrinsic value.
