which of the following is related to ethanol production?
(a) wind
(b) solar
(c) hydroelectric
(d) biomass
I think the answer is (d) biomass
Yes. Ethanol is derived from plants, like corn.
thank you wasnt sure
You're welcome.
You are correct, the answer is (d) biomass. To arrive at this answer, we need to understand the process of ethanol production.
Ethanol is primarily produced through fermentation, a biological process that converts sugars into alcohol. Biomass, specifically plants like corn, sugarcane, or switchgrass, contains sugars that can be used as feedstock for ethanol production. Therefore, biomass is directly related to ethanol production.
On the other hand, the other options, wind, solar, and hydroelectric, are all related to forms of renewable energy generation, but they do not directly contribute to the production of ethanol. These sources are typically used for electricity generation or other applications, but they are not directly involved in the production of ethanol through fermentation.
So, to summarize, the correct answer is (d) biomass because it is directly related to ethanol production as a necessary feedstock.
