One of the many awe-inspiring things about algae, Professor Greene explains, is that they can grow between ten and 100 times faster than land plants. In view of this speedy growth rate – combined with the fact they can thrive virtually anywhere in the right conditions – growing marine microalgae could provide a variety of solutions to some of the world’s most pressing problems.
Take, global warming. Algae sequesters CO2, as we have learned, but owing to the fact they grow faster than land plants, can cover wider areas and can be utilised in bioreactors, they can actually absorb CO2 more effectively than land plants. AI company Hypergiant Industries, for instance, say their algae bioreactor was 400 times more efficient at taking in CO2 than trees.
And it’s not just their nutritional credentials which could solve humanity’s looming food crisis, but how they are produced. Marine microalgae grow in seawater, which means they do not rely on arable land or freshwater, both of which are in limited supply. Professor Greene believes the use of these organisms could therefore release almost three million km2 of cropland for reforestation, and also conserve one fifth of global freshwater
Answer and explanation;
Na - metal
Cl - poisonous gas
NaCl - cyrstaline solid that is edible
An emergent property is a property which a collection or complex system has, but which the individual members do not.
Water emergent properties: cohesion & adhesion, versatile solvent, temperature moderation, freezing.
The properties of a compound can be very different from the properties of the elements that make them, for example, Sodium is an explosive metal, and Chlorine is a toxic gas, however, sodium chloride is a Delicious table salt!
The features that are shared by the rocks include the melting and cooling of rocks.
<h3>What is a rock? </h3>
It should be noted that a rock simply means a relatively hard naturally occurring mineral material.
Crystals most often form in igneous and metamorphic rocks. The processes that these rocks share that likely promote the formation of crystals is the melting and cooling of rocks.
