Question
Chapter 16, Problem 1SL
Summary Introduction
To determine:
The production and use of biofuels in the United States and also the role of government, private industry, and scientists in promoting the production and use of biofuels.
Introduction:
Biofuels are the substitutes for fossil fuels and are derived from renewable animal and plant biomass. Biodiesel and ethanol are the two types of biofuels.
Summary Introduction
To determine:
Whether citizens have an ethical responsibility to use biofuels as a substitute for fossil fuels and provide a reason for the same.
Introduction:
Ethanol, biodiesel, and biogas are examples of biofuels. Ethanol is often made from corn or sugarcane. Biogas (methane) derives from animal manure and other digested organic material.

- Molecular Biology Question You are working to characterize a novel protein in mice.
