Midterm exam question
I am posting here a short answer question that will be on the midterm exam.
The textbook discusses how algae can be used as an alternate source of energy. I have posted a case study on how corn can also be used as an alternative source of energy. You can read through it but if you go to the last 2 pages, you will find some pros and cons of using corn to produce ethanol.
Your assignment is from this list of pros and cons, to choose one statement. Then, find at least one outside source other than the textbook (either a REPUTABLE website containing at least 3 paragraphs of information or article). Write 2 paragraphs IN YOUR OWN WORDS discussing your statement and include a citation from your source. You will not get any credit if you do not provide a source.
