Explain why people are searching ways to use biofuels made from plants to power cars

2 answers:

Biofuels have been around as long as cars have. At the start of the 20th century, Henry Ford planned to fuel his Model Ts with ethanol, and early diesel engines were shown to run on peanut oil.

But discoveries of huge petroleum deposits kept gasoline and diesel cheap for decades, and biofuels were largely forgotten. However, with the recent rise in oil prices, along with growing concern about global warming caused by carbon dioxide emissions, biofuels have been regaining popularity.

Gasoline and diesel are actually ancient biofuels. But they are known as fossil fuels because they are made from decomposed plants and animals that have been buried in the ground for millions of years. Biofuels are similar, except that they're made from plants grown today.

Because people use too much gas and oil. If they made plant biofuel people wouldn't spend a lot of money and we wouldn't waste oil.

According to the Dietary guidelines for
America, men aged 19 and older should
consume an average of 2.640 calories and
women should consume an average of 1.785.
However, these numbers may vary according
to each person and their way of living. Some
bodies will need more than that and some
other less. that would depend on physical
activities and work among other things.

What happens to an enzyme as the temperature rises

Damm [24]

heightened temperatures can cause enzymes to work more quickly whereas if the temperature gets too high the enzyme stops working, If the temperature around an enzyme gets too high, the enzyme loses its shape, which is known as denaturation, and will eventually stop working

An individual heterozygous for eye color, skin color, and number of eyes mates with an individual who is homozygous recessive fo

sukhopar [10]

Answer:

B) 1 black eyes, green skin, two eyes : 1 black eyes, green skin, one eye : 1 black eyes, white skin, two eyes : 1 orange eyes, green skin, two eyes : 1 orange eyes, white skin, two eyes : 1 orange eyes, white skin, one eye

Explanation:

Parentals: BbGgCc x bbggcc

The punette square diagram of the cross of these two parents is attached.

B = black eyes, b = orange eyes;

G = green skin, g = white skin;

C = two eyes, c = one eye

Progeny with BbGgCc genotype → black eyes, green skin, two eyes = 8

Progeny with BbGgcc genotype → black eyes, green skin, one eye = 8

Progeny with BbggCc genotype → black eyes, white skin, two eyes = 8

Progeny with bbGgCc genotype → orange eyes, green skin, two eyes = 8

Progeny with Bbggcc genotype → black eyes, white skin, one eye = 8

Progeny with bbGgcc genotype → orange eyes, green skin, one eye = 8

Progeny with bbggCc genotype → orange eyes, white skin, two eyes = 8

Progeny with bbggcc genotype → orange eyes, white skin, one eye = 8

So, if we will see them in the form of ratio then each of the genotype will be in the ratio of 1 i.e. black eyes, green skin, two eyes: black eyes, green skin, one eye: black eyes, white skin, two eyes: orange eyes, green skin, two eyes: black eyes, white skin, one eye: orange eyes, green skin, one eye: orange eyes, white skin, two eyes : orange eyes, white skin, one eye = 1:1:1:1:1:1:1:1.

So, in view of above option B is most appropriate.

Note: In a trihybrid cross, a total of 64 progeny types may be produced.
