Cellulosic ethanol Cellulosic ethanol Cellulosic ethanol is ethanol (ethyl alcohol) produced from cellulose (the stringy fiber of a plant) rather than from the plant's seeds or fruit. It is a biofuel produced from grasses, wood, algae, or other plants. The fibrous parts of the plants are mostly inedible to animals, including humans, except for ruminants (grazing, cud-chewing animals such as cows or sheep). Considerable interest in cellulosic ethanol exists due to its important economical potential. Growth of cellulose by plants is a mechanism that captures and stores solar energy chemically in nontoxic ways with resultant supplies that are easy to transport and
Da Vinci Science Center two dozen hands-on activities that allow visitors to interact with various scientific fields, ranging from seismology to nano technology to animation. All of the exhibits aim to help children view science as playful and interesting. Inspired by a children's book series, this exhibit explores all the qualities of animals that people tend to find disgusting. Visitors who walk through this exhibit learn about the various means of childbirth throughout the animal kingdom and the variety of nutrient sources different species rely on, from cows chewing cud to mosquitoes sucking blood.
