Question

The work done by dr. rose ann cattolico and her assistants at the university of washington involves _______.

Answer 1

Ggrowing algae under different conditions and measuring their lipid production.

Step-by-step explanation:

The work done by Dr. Rose ann cattolico and her assistants at the university of washington involves growing algae under different conditions and measuring their lipid production. Since these algal species were able to produce lipids, their work identified a large number of species of algae as potential sources of biofuel.

Answer 2

The question above is incomplete, the options attached to the question are as follows:
A. extracting chlorophyll from algae to learn how these organisms gain energy from light.
B. engineering vehicles that use algae for fuel.
C. growing algae under different conditions and measuring their lipid production.
D. engineering algae to photosynthesize at higher rates.

ANSWER
The correct option is C.
Dr. Rose and her assistants set out to carry out scientific investigation that will identify living organisms that can grow rapidly and that will produce high quality lipids at the same time. The team had hypothesized that this type of organisms will be good candidates for production of bio fuels. The group concentrated on working with algae; these were grown under different conditions and their lipid contents were assessed. Their work has led to identification of many algae species as potential sources of bio fuel.
