Chlorella pyrenoidosa is a widely available microalga with several commercial applications for food and nutritional purposes. It has also revealed great potential as future industrial bioenergy producer due to its robustness‚ high growth rate‚ and high carbohydrate and lipid contents‚ and can be cultured under autotrophic‚ heterotrophic and mixotrophic conditions. However‚ in presence of organic carbon sources‚ it produces higher biomass with better carbohydrate contents than its autotrophic

Farming is rough in the Democratic Republic of Congo but there are some strategies that lighten the weight of the ecological problem. The idea of promoting local agricultural co-ops can assist in spreading of knowledge or methods of preserving soil‚ supplying food to families or for trade‚ and reducing the need for deforestation to name a few. By spreading information new methods of keeping the soil rich in nutrients are bound to pop up. Passage B states‚" Learning methods that will preserve and

The Cyanea Kuhihewa was chosen because we didn’t know what it was and figured that we should learn about something new and difficult. A problem this plant faces is‚ it’s one of the world’s most endangered plant. It was found because it was a juvenile plant and it has been non-existent and last seen since 2003. The Cyanea Kuhihewa died because of a hurricane in Hawaii that impacted Kauai. Scientist are trying to create a genetic version of the plant but it will be a very hard process. The botanic

As discussed in the article “GMOs Under Scrutiny” by Rachel Ehrenberg‚ there are numerous controversial methods being used in today’s world‚ one of them being growing genetically modified crops. Originating in the 1990s‚ GMOs came into practice for many different purposes and they have had several different effects. The whole idea of genetically modifying crops was to‚ one‚ make growing crops easier by giving them a built-in pesticide or the ability to stay fresh longer‚ two‚ to make growing certain

People should know what is in the food they eat today. The package should tell us the things they put in these Genetically Modified Organisms or GMOs for short. They should do this because: we do not know what harmful things are in the foods‚ the side effects it has on other foods too‚ and no real testing has been done to prove these foods are even okay for us to eat. These foods should have labels because we do not know what they contain in them. The company that produces GMOs do not put what

The one in the water at the beginning of the experiment had a thickness of 9mm a width of 11mm and a height of 22mm and it had a total mass of 2.59grams and a total volume of around 2178 mm 3 The one in the plastic bag is going to be the constant It massed at 2.53 grams and had a height of 21mm a width of 12mm and thickness of 11mm and a total volume of 2772mm3 .

Genetically modified foods are beneficial for our society because of the nutrients that may be added to foods and the greater ability to produce these foods. While some people argue that genetic modification is still a new technology that should be researched further‚ others will agree that the benefits definitely outweigh the drawbacks. Society today has all kinds of new technology at its fingertips and should be allowed to use this technology to enhance certain things to better the world. The

Introduction Genetically Modified Organisms (GMO)‚ are organisms whose genetic material has been artificially manipulated in a laboratory through the means of Genetic Engineering. It is when a gene from one organism is taken and inserted into another in order to improve and produce a desired trait for that certain organism. Sometimes it is known as "transgenic" for transfer of genes. Mostly‚ GMOs are done with agricultural crops and animals that are consumed for food. Food‚ most needed by humans
