Termites are known for eating wood, but the way that they actually consume wood is much different than how you may think they do it. Termites don’t use acid for breaking down the wood. Instead, they utilize a special bacteria that breaks down wood cellulose. After the bacteria has done its job, all the wood it was exposed to becomes decomposed, which allows termites to eat the wood. It’s a process that can cause a lot of damage and turn into an expensive repair. Get rid of the termites using one…
to allow for acids, volatile acids and other components that lost on oven drying. The crude protein which is determined from the total nitrogen of silage is 88.33 (g/kg DM). The value of the acid detergent fibre which is a measurement of lingin, cellulose and lignified nitrogen is 306.79 (g/kg DM). The neutral detergent fibre of the silage was 552.40(g/kg DM) and is an indicator of forage intake potential which declines as NDF value increases. The pH value of the silage is 3.91 and its an…
cellulose. The protists and prokaryotes can hydrolyze the cellulose, which the cow or termite can then use. Lipids A. Fats- A fat is made of a fatty acid and a glycerol. A fatty acid is a long carbon chain with a carboxyl group on the end. It is made up of C-H bonds. Glycerol is an alcohol. Fats are used for energy storage. Fats can store two times as much energy as polysaccharides. Animals use fat instead of starch because fats can store more energy with less space. The adipose cell humans use…
Cassava starch can be changed over promptly to ethyl liquor in a two stage prepare including the hydrolysis of starch slurry into glucose by liquefaction so that dextrin and along these lines fermentable sugar can be acquired. The glucose arrangement is weakened and changed over to ethyl liquor by the anaerobic activity of yeast, ethanol of 95.6% w/w turns out through parchedness which is concentrated to 99.5% w/w (Ramasamy and Paramasamy, 2001; Kosugi et al., 2009). In this manner cassava-based…
be packed with reflective insulation, and loose boards insulation. Those are all types of insulation you can put in your house. Insulation can be made of, soft, flexible units made of fiberglass or rock wool fibers, short fibers of fiberglass, cellulose, small particles of perlite or…
5.4. Electrosensitive hydrogels Hydrogel swells in response to an electrical stimulus with a mechanism very similar to pH, experiences shrinkage, and bending. The major difference between electrical and pH stimulations is that the electric field moves mobile ions in order to regulate an ion concentration gradient through the hydrogel and the solution [54,55]. Polymeric networks containing ionizable groups can have important electrical behavior under an electric field. The electrosensitive…
Global climate change is modifying the population of microorganisms and the distribution of their species. Microorganisms live in environments where more than type of species exist. Each species of microorganism plays a major, minor or no role in intricate groups. There is variation amongst microorganism and because of this all species of microorganisms will not react to global climate change in the same way. These microorganisms have a vital role in ensuring components such as carbon and…
Makes food which can be used for photosynthesis A lysosome has only a single membrane protecting it and it approximately one micrometre in length. Membrane bound organelle that contain digestive enzymes The cell wall in a plant cell is made up of cellulose and other products. A structure outside the plasma membrane in plant cells The vacuole is a membrane that surrounds a mass of fluid, water and waste products of a plant. A large membrane bound vesicle found in plant cells filled with water…
Introduction As the threats of climate change have increased, so has research on alternative energy. Alternative energy differs from classic fuel sources (i.e. coal, shale, natural gas) because it uses natural resources that has the ability to be consistently replaced; thus it is also termed “renewable energy.” “Biofuels” are a specific class of renewable energy that refers to biomass (versus other natural resources like sunlight) or harvested metabolites from living organisms that can be…
The majority of glucose is used for cellulose synthesis and other cell wall materials. Amino acids are used as enzymes and structural components. The net loss of mass of the seed occurs due to change of sugars to CO2 and water where CO2 is lost as gas then O2 taken up by aerobic respiration. Growth occurs by cell division within the embryo and amounts of proteins, cellulose, nucleic acids steadily increase in the growing region of the seed. The first visible…
