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.

Explain how weathering erosion and deposition happen in our enviroment
eimsori [14]

Answer: Erosion is the process by which natural forces move weathered rock and soil from one place to another. Gravity, running water, glaciers, waves, and wind all cause erosion. Deposition begins when erosion stops; the moving particles fall out of the water or wind and settle on a new surface.

Internal capsule is part of which pathway,motor or sensory?
sergeinik [125]

The Internal capsule is part of the motor pathway and is therefore denoted as option A.

<h3>What is Internal capsule?</h3>

This is characterized by a a white matter which is located in the inferomedial part of both cerebral hemisphere of the brain. The brain serves as the control center of the central nervous system which comprises of a rich network of neurons interconnected together for prompt response to different types of stimuli.

The internal capsule however functions together with the pyramidal motor pathway during the processing of different types of stimuli and information hence it being chosen as the most appropriate choice.

What happens in the process of transcription
dolphi86 [110]
During the process of transcription, a portion of a DNA molecule is used to create a mRNA Molecule. DNA stores genetic information in the nucleus of your cells. When RNA molecules are produced it happens inside the nucleus. The RNA molecule can then leave the nucleus and travel to ribosomes which are located in the cytoplasm and attached to endoplasmic reticulum. The RNA will be used to create proteins molecules.
