There are wastes of four fruits peels; apple, orange, banana, and pineapple were used for this experiment. The percentage of biomass produced and moisture content were calculated by using the given formulas. It is given that the weight of each substrate is equal to 40 grams. The biomass produced is maximum in apple peel followed by banana peel, orange peel, and pineapple peel ( observation 1) and banana peel has highest moisture content followed by orange peel, pineapple peel, and apple peel (observation 2). QUESTION: Please give the clear explanation for both observations and justify your answer.

EXPERIMENT :UTILIZATION OF SOLID WASTE FOR PRODUCTION OF VALUE-ADDED PRODUCTS There are wastes of four fruits peels; apple, orange, banana, and pineapple were used for this experiment. The percentage of biomass produced and moisture content were calculated by using the given formulas. It is given that the weight of each substrate is equal to 40 grams. The biomass produced is maximum in apple peel followed by banana peel, orange peel, and pineapple peel ( observation 1) and banana peel has highest moisture content followed by orange peel, pineapple peel, and apple peel (observation 2).

What is biomass and what can be done with biomass? Why is there a need to develop a biomass industry? Also, explain the challenges related to biomass.
The carbon footprint is the amount of GHG produced from an activity or a product. What would be the carbon footprint of a power plant producing electricity from coal. Calculate the GHG emission of CO2 per kWh of electricity produced. Assume the energy efficiency of the power plant as 38% and the heating value of coal as 4500 Kcal/Kg. Assume coal is 50% carbon. The answer you will get is also known as the emission factor for a coal power plant.
