Explanation

Fermenters are also known as bioreactors.

They are large containers used to grow microorganisms like bacteria, yeast, or cells on a large scale for various industrial applications, such as:

• Production of biofuels
• Biopharmaceuticals
• Food processing
• Biotechnology research

Explanation

Biotechnology in industry refers to the use of biological systems, living organisms, or derivatives thereof, to develop new products and processes on a large scale.

This includes the production of alcohol, antibiotics, vaccines, biofuels, and other commodities.

Explanation

• Solar power is a renewable energy source that generates electricity from sunlight.
• It does not emit carbon dioxide (CO2) or any other greenhouse gases.

The sources of carbon dioxide emissions:

• Burning of fossil fuels (such as coal, oil, and natural gas) releases CO2 into the atmosphere.
• Burning wood (such as in fireplaces or woodstoves) also releases CO2.
• Respiration (the process by which living organisms breathe) releases CO2 as a byproduct.
• Car exhaust smoke (from internal combustion engines) contains CO2, as well as other pollutants.
