Ethanol is one example of alternative fuels for powering our cars and trucks. Ethanol can be produced in different ways, but most often by microorganisms acting on plant materials such as corn. Advocates argue that burning ethanol would not alter the net emission of CO2 even though when ethanol is involved in combustion it produces CO2. What are the pros and cons of producing and burning ethanol?

Photosynthesis

Plants have a capacity that we humans can only imagine— the ability to produce food from sunlight. Sure, we can prepare some dishes that we can savor on, but it become possible because of the plants (as they serve as a producers of all the raw materials required). Photosynthesis is the method of assembling carbohydrates with the aid of sunlight.
