The plants themselves do not produce any ethanol at all. The plants produce sugars of various types, and then humans use a number of different processes to convert sugars into ethanol (the old fashioned method is simple fermentation with yeast for instance). Which plants allow humans to produce the most ethanol from a given plant depends on what sugars their cells produce and the technology we have to convert that sugar to ethanol. Corn is not the best crop for generating ethanol as it does so fairly inefficiently (it takes a lot of energy to grow and doesn't produce much ethanol). The best plant for making ethanol is sugar beet. Sugar cane is also very good. Really the best way to make ethanol would be from very fast growing plants (the fastest is called switchgrass), but to do that we need to discover how to efficiently convert cellulose into ethanol instead of sugar because these fast growing plants don't make sugar. We don't know how to convert cellulose, but we're working on it in many laboratories around the world!

What are plantes made from?
Tobacco
How does studying other planets help us better to understand geological processes on Earth?
It helps us understand if what can live on that plant etc so if we stuff this planet up we can move to another plant
Where is the largest solar power plant?
Solar Energy Generating Systems is currently the largest operational solar power plant in the world. It is located in the Mojave Desert of California, US.
Why are clouds there?
Well to rain on us of course clouds are even made of rain in a gas form
How the tomato plant can be traced back to the sun?
The most obvious answer is that Tomato plants have to photosynthesise using in part energy from the sun. If they did not have this energy from the sun and photosynthesis the plant would not be able to grow. Another way a tomato plant can be traced back to the sun is that when the earth was created it was essentially spat out by the sun. In this way all tomato plants are made of matter that was once part of the sun.
What plant is ethanol made of?
There is no plant that is made of ethanol. Ethanol is a biomass energy source made of grains and corn.
What are examples of beverages that is made of a plant?
Tea,coffee,wine,ethanol
What plant produces ethanol?
plant that produces ethanol are grains like millet
What type of vegetable is ethanol made from?
Ethanol is typically made from starchy crops like corn, wheat, and sugarcane, as well as other plant materials such as beets and potatoes. These materials are fermented and distilled to produce ethanol, which can then be used for various applications, including as a fuel additive.
What is used to make ethanol for fuel?
Fuel grade ethanol can be made by biological or chemical routes.For biologically based ethanol starches or sugars from plants are fermented under anaerobic conditions and the produced ethanol is distilled to the desirable level of purity.For the chemical process, light gases from petroleum is reacted to create ethane or ethylene and an OH- is substituted for one of the hydrogen's in the alkane or inserted into the double bond to make ethanol.
What is the energy source of ethanol?
The energy source of ethanol is renewable plant material, such as corn, sugar cane, or cellulose from wood or grasses. This plant material undergoes fermentation to produce ethanol, which can be used as a fuel source.
What is the process for extracting THC using ethanol extract?
The process for extracting THC using ethanol extract involves soaking the cannabis plant material in ethanol to dissolve the THC. The mixture is then filtered to remove plant material, and the ethanol is evaporated to leave behind a concentrated THC extract.
How is ethanol found?
ethanol is not "found", it's made by the fermentation process.
Is ethanol a biofuel?
Ethanol can be a biofuel if it is obtained from vegetable matter. It can also be produced by the hydrogenation of ethylene in a refinery or chemical plant.
How does ethanol remove chlorophyll?
Ethanol removes chlorophyll by breaking down the cell walls of plant material where chlorophyll is stored. This process helps to release the chlorophyll into the ethanol solution, effectively removing it from the plant material. Ethanol is a polar solvent that can dissolve chlorophyll molecules.
Are OshKosh clothes made in US?
The last US plant was shut in 2000. The answer is NO.
Ethanol is made from?
Rice corn
