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.

radiant
Use to answer
Household chemicals are sometimes discarded in ways that allow the chemicals to enter lakes and streams. These diluted chemicals may affect the growth of aquatic plants or terrestrial plants growing beside the water. A student hypothesized that a particular household chemical would have a negative effect on the photosynthetic rate of plants. She assumed that the chemical would not kill the plants.
Question: Unit C - Design an experiment to determine whether a household chemical affects the rate of photosynthesis in plants .
Your response should include
• a detailed procedure • identification of the controlled, manipulated, and responding variables
• an explanation of evidence that you will collect and how it will be interpreted to determine the effect the chemical had on rate of photosynthesis
