True or false? Biofuels are used as cleaner fuels and to reduce the amount of carbon dioxide emitted into the air.
True.
100
It is a battery made out of sugar that is a very good, clean fuel alternative.
What is a sugar battery?
100
True or False? Algae doesn't take up much space to grow and is starting to be easily mass produced.
True.
100
Biomass is burned in a furnace and collects gasses which can be used for electricity.
What is biomass used for?
200
It is organic matter that is normally plant matter that can be used for fuel.
What is Biomass?
200
Using biomass for biofuel could cut down on trash space.(hint:in the question, the word, helpful, is in it)
What is one reason for why using biomass for biofuel would be helpful?
200
They act like any other regular battery breaking down sugar to make power.(This is how sugar batteries ________)
What is a fact about how sugar batteries work?
200
This can happen on ponds. (Think about how algae is grown.)
What is a place where algae can be grown.
200
True or False? Biofuels will definitely never replace the fuel we use today because they all are so ineffective.
False.
300
This is where trees and forests are being cut down.
What is deforestation?
300
New biofuels have better photosynthesis and don't take up as much space as others which can benefit certain new biofuels.(Hint:Think about the benefits)
What is a beneficial factor(benefits) to using new biofuels?
300
Sugar batteries can sometimes generate more electricity than the cell phone batteries we have now.(Think about how they could be improved and better.)
What is a way sugar batteries are better than what we have right now?
300
Unlike some algae, corn, ethanol, and other biofuels, they take up too much space and cut in to the land space that we use for food
What is a reason why algae is a good biofuel fuel alternative?
300
A good smart way to use them is to reuse them and turn them into biofuels. (Think about the word, smart.)
What is a smart use of biofuels?
400
These are plant-like matter that are made of chlorophyll. Many scientists are trying to use this as a fuel source.
What is algae?
400
Some biofuels take up too much space and cut into the land we need for food. (Hint:Think about why we haven't used certain biofuels)
What is a reason why some biofuels haven't worked out or been used?
400
Scientists are not sure how to use sugar to power bigger things, yet. (Hint: think about why they aren't being used right now.)
What is a reason why sugar batteries haven't been used in bigger power sources?
400
It isn't ready to be used as a fuel because scientists are still figuring out how to produce more algae with taking up as little space as possible.
What is a reason to not use algae yet?
400
This wouldn't be good for the environment. Certain biofuels need lots of room and can cause deforestation. (Hint: Think about bad harmful effects.)
What is a way using certain biofuels could harm the environment.
500
It is the complex process where water, carbon dioxide, and salts are turned into carbohydrates by plants.
What is photosynthesis?
500
It is used to reduce the amount of carbon dioxide emitted into the air. (Think about purpose.)
What is a fact about the purpose we use biofuel?
500
Sugar batteries do not give off chemicals which isn't harmful to the environment. (Think about the word helpful.)
What is a way sugar batteries can help the environment?
500
The purpose is for it to be a biofuel that can take up little space and have effective use.
What is algae used for?
500
True or False? Biofuels help make sure a fuel alternative can be found. Biofuels can and might cause the fuel we are using now to stop being used because they replace them. This is good.
