Document Summary
Chapter: biotechnology: biotechnology: the manipulation and transfer of genes between different species. It is produced by microbes in almost all soils and is emitted from fertilized soils and animal wastes. These emissions can be reduced by reducing nitrogen-based fertilizer use and applying fertilizers more efficiently. Reducing mobile fuel consumption in motor vehicles can reduce transportation emissions. Only genetically modified plants can tolerate roundup: percy schmeiser : activist that defended biodiversity and farmers" rights, and challenged the environmental and moral perversity of current interpretations of patent laws. Systemic herbicide : a very powerful systemic action that has a dramatic effect on any weed with which they come into contact. Absorbed by the weed"s leaves, the systemic herbicide starts to circulate inside the plant and reaches its roots. Pyrolysis unit: hot sand reacts with dry biomass to create vapor directed towards the condenser c. iii. Condensation unit: collects and condenses pyrolytic vapor into pyrolytic fuel: advantages: to enhance conversion yield.
