Rice Malze Wheat Millet Sorghum 05 cereal crops provide 60% of the food energy taken in by the world's human population. Five cereal crops provide 60 percent of the food energy taken in by the world's human population. As shown in the image, these cereals (grains) are rice, maize, wheat, millet, and sorghum. The portion of these crops consumed by humans is actually the seed with its protective coverings from the fruit. These crops are O bryophytes O angiosperms O fems O gymnosperms

Energy Efficiency of Biofuel Production Most of the plant material currently used for biofuel production in the United States consists of food cropsmainly corn, soybeans, and sugarcane. In 2006, David Tilman and his colleagues published the results of a 10-year study comparing the net energy output of various biofuels. The researchers grew a mixture of native perennial grasses without irrigation, fertilizer, pesticides, or herbicides, in sandy soil that was so depleted by intensive agriculture that it had been abandoned. They measured the usable energy in biofuels made from the grasses, and also from com and soy, then measured the energy it took to grow and produce biofuel from each kind of crop (FIGURE 6.18). FIGURE 6 .18 Energy inputs and outputs of biofuels made from three different crops. One hectare is about 2 .5 acres. 2. Which of the biofuels tested had the highest ratio of energy output to energy input?

The foods on the following list are typically considered vegetables. the term vegetable is simply defined as any edible part of a plant. Lok at each of the "vegetables" below and indicate what part of the plant is being eaten: root, stem, leaf, flower, fruit, or seed. Be cautious, for many plants, more than one part is edible! For example, kidney beans have edible seeds and also the entire pods (i.e., fruits): asparagus broccoli carrot cauliflower celery corn green pepper kidney beans lettuce orange radishes spinach
Miracle RiceRice is staple food in Asia. In the 1950s, Asia faced food shortage and an impending famine. If you have relatives that lived in Asia during the ’50s and ’60s, they may tell you that due to the rice shortage, many starved and those who were lucky had to supplement their diet with other crops, such as barley. In 1962, an organization focused on research and development of rice called International Rice Research Institute (IRRI) developed a high-yielding variety of rice by crossing the two types of rice from Indonesia and China. The result was ground breaking. The new variety called IR8 (India Rice 8) increased its yield as much as 10 times the traditional variety of rice. By the early 1970s, many rice farmers in India, the Philippines, and Vietnam switched to cultivating IR8 rice, making these countries into major rice exporters, preventing a mass famine in Asia, and saving millions of lives. 1) Is the IR8 rice variety considered a genetically modified organism (GMO)? Why or…
Plants make their own essential elements to complete their life cycle. We have figured out which elements are essential by using hydroponic culture, which involves growing plants in clay instead of soil. Micronutrients of plants include carbon, oxygen, and hydrogen. Plants only require a small amount of macronutrients which include zinc, copper, and iron. There are 4 mistakes in this paragraph, rewrite it to be correct.
