On a maize farm in Ethiopia, the insolation energy is 5,654,875 calories/m^2/day. The gross productivity of the rice is 0.02742g/cm^2/day, and 35% of the energy is lost due to respiration. There are 4000 calories in 1 gram of maize. Calculate the net primary productivity of the maize and the efficiency of photosynthesis of maize. Show work below.

The chemical reaction equation for the conversion of ethanol (C2H5OH) to acetic acid (CH3COOH) is: C2H5OH + O2 → CH3COOH + H2OIn a vinegar production industry, acetic acid is produced from ethanol during the growth of the bacterium Acetobacter aceti, whose cellular composition is CH1,8O0,5N0,2. The biomass yield from substrate is 0.14 g/g, while the product yield also from substrate is 0.92 g/g. Ammonia is used as a nitrogen source. Based on this information, answer: (a) What is the oxygen demand for acetic acid production in this crop?(b) What are the cooling requirements of a bioreactor containing 3000 L of ethanol (ρ = 789 kg/m³), to be completely converted into acetic acid?
