Answer:

When corn is used to produce ethanol for fuel the process also generates LIVESTOCK FEED AND CORN OIL

Explanation:

Ethanol is a product of the fermentation process whereby carbohydrates is broken down due to the action of a microorganism called Yeast and it produces ethanol, carbon dioxide and water.

The used of ethanol as a source of fuel instead of petroleum products is because it is produced from a carbohydrates( corn) which makes it renewable.

Also ethanol when used as fuel does not emit harmful gas such as green house gases that can pollute the environment.

Ethanol for fuel is produced industrially by using either the method of wet milling or dry grinding. The both methods involves the breaking of the carbohydrates present in starch to simple sugars glucose and adding the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisae to the simple sugars which in turn breaks it down through the process of fermentation into ethanol and we can recover by products such as livestock feed and corn oil from the process as well.

The Ethanol produced can be used like that as fuel or it can be blended or mixed together with gasoline and used as fuel.

The recovered by products from Ethanol fuel production such as the livestock feed is used as a source of feed for animals which the corn oil can be used in the process of cooking or frying of foods. Corn oil can also be used to produce margarine as well.

Corn is the product used to produce ethanol fuel in the country United States.Corn ethanol is a product from corn that uses biomass. The process is produce by ethanol fermentation and also distillation.With this gasoline and fuel also is being generated.

saveliy_v [14]

In step 2: Denaturation of the double-strand occurs.

In step 3: Annealing of the primer to the single strands.

In step 4: Extension or elongation takes place in this step.

Explanation:

In the PCR program an enzyme Taq Polymerase is used because it can withstand high temperature without altering its functions.

PCR is required for the amplification of DNA into multiple copies for experimental purpose. The artificial environment is created to form new DNA molecules from the sample in question.

The first step in replication is the opening of the double helix which is done by temperature treatment in PCR. The temperature would be 90 degrees for some 30 sec to two minutes.

The next step of primer annealing would be done at 52 degrees, this is the primer melting temperature.

The elongation of the DNA strand to be synthesized will take place at 72 degrees as Taq Polymerase can withstand that temperature.

Nearly one million copies of DNA will be made after 30 cycles of PCR.

PCR products can be stored at 4 degrees for some two months.

Why can't proteins and starch enter the cell?
SVETLANKA909090 [29]

Answer:

This is because the cell membrane is a partially permeable membrane, hence allowing the smaller molecules to enter it and larger molecules to be out. For example, protein is too large to enter the cell
