Question
Chapter 17, Problem 2IQ
Summary Introduction
To explain: The way in which the microalgae are genetically engineered to make them more efficient at making the lipids that are used to produce biofuels.
Introduction: Biofuels are fuels obtained from the biomass produced from carbon sources that are fixed recently. The common biomass sources for the production of biofuels are crop plants and algae. Biodiesel, a common form of biofuel, is produced by chemically transforming the algal lipids.
