Ethanol: Good or Bad? In the pursuit of a cleaner renewable resource to fossil fuels‚ many scientist have found alternatives. Examples include solar‚ wind‚ biogas‚ geothermal‚ biomass energy and cellulosic ethanol. In the last twenty years‚ efforts have been made to reduce our dependency on foreign oil and ethanol has been an option. Ethanol is nothing new; in fact‚ it was first used in a motor built by Samuel Morey in 1826 (Ethanol History). Since the 1980s‚ the government started having oil companies

The Extraction of Bio-ethanol from Apple (Malus domesticus) and Banana (Musa accuminata Colla) Peelings through the Process of Fermentation and Distillation Abstract Apple (Malus domesticus) and banana (Musa accuminata Colla) peelings are common household waste products. This study sought to extract bioethanol from these two peelings and to compare which sample can produce more bioethanol. About 400 grams of apple and banana peeling was obtained from the 1 kilogram bought from the supermarket

Although ethanol has provided our world with many benefits‚ there are also many drawbacks as well. Because ethanol is manufactured from corn crops‚ the value of most corn is higher in costs. This drawback plays a role not only in the world of energy but also in the food industry‚ thus overall impacting our economy. In addition‚ the corn also requires a large quantity of land in order to produce enough material for the ethanol. Farm land is very scarce and difficult to come by‚ because of the constant

It doesn’t matter to students that they are not allowed to use their cell phones while they are in class‚ they do it anyway. They often send text messages to each other and this can distract them from their education‚ as well as distract the person they are texting‚ which is likely to be another student. Many people call this the new way of passing notes. Besides that‚ Another drawback of allowing cell phones is that they

plasma membrane of a cell is extremely important to the transportation of substances into and out of the cell. The outer membrane of a cell is made up of lipids and proteins. Most of the lipids in plasma membranes are phospholipids. The phospholipids have a hydrophilic head and two hydrophobic tails. When engulfed in water‚ they arrange themselves such that all the hydrophobic tails clump together‚ surrounded by the hydrophilic heads‚ protecting the tails from the exposure to the water. In cells‚ which
