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.

What does a single-celled prokaryote, like a bacteria, have in common with a single-celled eukaryote, like an amoeba? Select the

densk [106]

Answer: Both are single-celled microorganisms which contains plasma membranes, cytoplasm, ribosomes, DNA

Explanation:

Cells are the smallest functional unit of organisms which are classified under two main categories namely:

--> prokaryotic cells and

--> eukaryotic cells.

Prokaryotes are unicellular or single-celled organisms which do not possess true nuclei. Their cell structure is simple as there is NO definite nucleus and the chromosomes lie free in a particular part of the cell. Examples of organisms that belongs to this group are the bacteria. They can only be seen through a high power of a light microscope and are found in air, water, soil and living organisms. The general structure of prokaryotes like bacteria contains Chromosome ( single DNA strand coiled up), cytoplasm, ribosome which are few cell components among others.

Eukaryotes are organisms which possess a definite or true nuclei. The cell structure is complex and highly organized with a well-defined nucleus (meaning its DNA is surrounded by a membrane). Many structures called the cell organelles are present which include: mitochondria, chloroplasts, the endoplasmic reticulum, the Golgi apparatus, and lysosomes with other cell components, that is the cytoplasm, plasma membrane and ribosomes. Each organelle carries out a certain type of work. Examples of organisms that belongs to this group are the amoebas.

From the explanation above, both bacteria and amoeba are single- celled organisms which contains plasma membranes, cytoplasm, ribosomes, and DNA.
