Fermentation

The yearning for knowledge and understanding of the world reignited during the Renaissance. The time period set the perfect environment for a rebirth in learning and the acceptance/challenging of ancient authorities in the scientific field. This also led scholars to deny any progress in the past and deemed the middle ages as the Dark Ages Leonardo Da Vinci was a jack of all trades in the Renaissance and serves as a prime example of a rekindling in learning and understanding. Leonardo did not…

The laws of heredity discovered by G. Mendel are similar for all complex life creatures and he concluded that genes come in pairs one from each parent inherited as distinct units. Also, the mathematical patterns of inheritance as well as genes segregation and their appearance in the offspring as dominant or recessive traits were determined during his genetic experiments with pea plants and outlined three laws oh inheritance. First, the Law of Dominance is expressed where one allele dominates…

France is located in the continent of Europe. In Europe, France is considered as the second largest country.

with plants and most people will think that getting energy from plants is burning. Burning is not the only way of extracting energy from these plants. There are not only the method of burning but also others such as the decomposition by bacteria, fermentation and conversion. Fresh plants are used to obtain that energy, but also dead plants, fungus and also garbage can be used. Even though biomass is the oldest form of energy source, it has been used by only ten to fifteen percent of the world in…

have separations between organic/raw and inorganic waste. The organic waste can be utilized in biogas digesters, along with “industrial, domestic or commercial organic waste and agricultural waste materials and energy crops”. By the process of fermentation in these waste materials, the cleaner form of energy biogas is produced, which can be used for cooking purposes and as a fuel for vehicles that use natural gas. Another step to sustainability is converting from the large scale use of crude oil…

Chitin is a linear polysaccharide, with β-(1-4)-linked N-acetyl-D-glucosamine. Found in the exoskeletons of crustaceans (crab, shrimp, lobster, insects) & molluscs, as well as the cell walls of algae and fungi, chitin is the second-most naturally abundant polysaccharide after cellulose [1, 2]. Chitin occurs naturally in the polymorphic forms: α, β and γ. The α-polymorphic form of chitin is the most abundant in nature, present in the strong exoskeleton of crustaceans [6]. α-Chitin forms tightly…

Crude oil is becoming scarce throughout the world. Due to the heavy reliance on petroleum-based oil in the United States, the conversion from petroleum-based economies to bioenergy sustained economies is of utmost importance. In the United States, corn is considered to be a cheap energy crop and is widely cultivated for ethanol production. In contrast to corn, switchgrass is an easily cultivated plant that can be used for lignocellulosic biomass and ethanol production. Switchgrass (Panicum…

Many people often become addicted to substances. When someone becomes addicted to a substance it cause disruptions in there life, it causes problems with there relationship(s), and it effects there health. People often start off by using alcohol or drugs as a “pick me up” and it makes the user feel “cool” (“Substance Abuse and”).
