Question
Chapter 8.3, Problem 2CF
Summary Introduction
To explain:
Advantages and disadvantages of producing bio-fuels.
Concept Introduction:
Biofuels are prepared by the anaerobic fermentation of plant and animal waste material. Carbon dioxide gas is produced as a byproduct in this reaction. It can be produced from oils and fats by the process of transesterification. Various subtrates for biofuel production include lignocellulose, vegetable oil and complex carbohydrates. The process of fermentation produces gases like hydrogen, oxygen and carbon-dioxide along with methane. Ethanol, butanol and propanol are also produced as products during fermentation of carbohydrate material.

8. Transcription and Translation Practice: (Video 10-1 and 10-2)
A. Below is the sense strand of a DNA gene. Using the sense strand, create the antisense
DNA strand and label the 5' and 3' ends.
B. Use the antisense strand that you create in part A as a template to create the mRNA
transcript of the gene and label the 5' and 3' ends.
C. Translate the mRNA you produced in part B into the polypeptide sequence making sure
to follow all the rules of translation.
