A Million Green Ideas

Researchers funded by the Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research Council (BBSRC) have discovered key plant enzymes that normally make the energy stored in wood, straw, and other non-edible parts of plants difficult to extract. The findings, published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, can be used to improve the viability of sustainable biofuels that do not adversely affect the food chain.

Question by Jasmine G: Would you want a solar power plant near your home?


List some good reasons you would/wouldn’t want a solar power plant near your home. This is for a school project so please list some good answers.

Answer by Joe U
I would like a solar power plant FOR my home. I have no problem with such things nor would I complain about a ‘wind farm’.
The current coal-fired plant (about 5 miles from me) pollutes every day. It is a “clean burn” plant but the operators seem to have found a way to conceal their pollution. I can see the yellow haze being emitted in the steam plume from the cooling towers (where nothing but steam is supposed to be) on sunny days.
I’ve told the local EPA about that but nothing has been done. Grift and bribery I would guess.
Anyway, the solar and wind plants are clean and efficient when operating and fueling them does not require deforestation or mining.

Question by (:: What environmental conditions could a plant be in that would decrease percentage of stomata open?


List at least 5 environmental conditions that a plant could be in that would decrease the percentage of stomata open:

I have these so far, are they right?

1. Light
2. Humidity?
3.

Best answer:

Answer by Luke Collins
Darkness would stop the stomata from opening, simply because its not needed during darkness for photosynthesis since it can’t occur, submergance in water could trigger a closure of the stomata to prevent excess water uptake. Humidity does indeed close the stomata as well because humidity causes evaporation, and to prevent water loss, the stoma would close. Light would cause it to open however, because during photosynthesis, the stomata open to let carbon dioxide to diffuse. Increased/decreased air movement would also trigger the stoma to close, responding to environmental stimuli. Hope this helped.
