Liquid from a brewery fermenter can be considered to contain 10% ethanol and 90% water. 50000 kg h-1 of this fermentation product are pumped to a distillation column on the factory site. Under current operating conditions a distillate of 45% ethanol and 55% water is produced from the top of the column at a rate one-tenth that of the feed.

 What is the composition of the waste 'bottoms' from the still?

Bakers' yeast is produced in a 50 000-litre fermenter under aerobic conditions. The carbon substrate is sucrose; ammonia is provided as nitrogen source. The average biomass composition is CH_1.830_0.55N_0.17 with 5% ash. Under efficient growth conditions, biomass is the only major product; the biomass yield from sucrose is 0.5 g g^-I. If the specific growth-rate is 0.45 h^-l, estimate the rate of heat removal required to maintain constant temperature in the fermenter when the yeast concentration is 10 g l^{- 1}     _______________________.10^6

Based on their feeding behaviors, three major types of insect herbivores can be distinguished, which evades the constitutive defense;

A) Phloem feeders                                                                    i) caterpillars, grasshoppers, and beetles

B) Cell-content feeders                                                            ii) aphids and whiteflies

C) Chewing insects                                                                    iii) mites and thrips
