Why are biofuels derived from plants?

Biology
1 answer:
Lemur [1.5K]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

Biofuels are renewable fuels that are produced from biomass, organisms that were formed and stopped living a short time ago. The energy in the biofuels is called bioenergy. The major constituents of biomass are cellulose, lignin, starch and sugar, but many plants also contain other organic compounds that are beneficial for energy recovery from the material due to their physical structure and chemical composition. The difference between biofuels and fossil fuels is that fossil fuels take millions of years for new formation while new biomass for biofuels is constantly being formed. This means that biofuels can usually be considered carbon neutral as the carbon dioxide emitted during combustion is constantly bound to new biomass in a closed cycle.

Solnce55 [7]
The correct answer is hydronephrosis. Distention means being enlarged or swollen due to internal pressure. In this case, the internal pressure would be urine collecting in the kidney. This occurs when the urine is unable to drain from the kidney to the bladder due to an obstruction. Contrary to common belief, hydronephrosis is not a disease itself, but is instead is the result of a disease.

What solution describes a saturated solution?
WITCHER [35]

Answer:

This is not my answer, I found it on the internet.

No more solutes can be dissolved in a saturated solution at a given temperature and pressure.

Explanation:

A saturated solution is a solution that consists of maximum amount and concentration of the solute that is dissolved in the solvent.

The extra amount of solute cannot be dissolved in a saturated solution.

The saturated solution is composed of solute and solvent and solvent cannot dissolve more solute at some extent.

The carbonated beverage is an ideal example of saturated solution.
