Question

Researchers are working to develop biofuels to free us from dependence on fossil fuels. Based on what you know about cellulose, what do you predict are the major advantage and disadvantage of using cellulose-rich plant material as biofuel?

Answer 1

Cellulose is a macro molecule with high storage of energy lodged in its molecules.Therefore, this high energy content is a good advantage for Biofuel.

However, the mass e of the hydrogen bonds holding it molecules makes it difficult to undergo hydrolysis to glucose. This is a disadvantage which may affect the production of biofuel from cellulose.
