What is the advantage of using high in cellulose like sorghum and switchgrass instead of corn?
The advantage to using high cellulose feedstocks such as sorghum and switchgrass instead of corn is that they are more environmentally friendly. These crops are more sustainable and require less water fertilizer and land than corn. Additionally they are better able to handle drought and extreme weather conditions making them more reliable sources of feedstock for biofuel production. Sorghum and switchgrass also have higher cellulose content than corn meaning more fuel can be produced from a given amount of the crop. Here are some of the benefits of using sorghum and switchgrass instead of corn:
- More sustainable and require less water fertilizer and land than corn.
- Better able to handle drought and extreme weather conditions.
- Higher cellulose content than corn meaning more fuel can be produced from a given amount.
Overall using high cellulose feedstocks such as sorghum and switchgrass instead of corn is an environmentally friendly and sustainable way to produce biofuel.

Is milk soluble in water?
Milk is mostly water, which is very polar. Sugar (sucrose) is also a rather polar molecule. So, polar compounds dissolve readily in polar solvents. That is why sugar easily dissolves in milk.

What food contains starch?
Starch is often found in the fruit, seeds, rhizomes or tubers of plants and is the major source of energy in these food items. The major resources for starch production and consumption worldwide are rice, wheat, corn, and potatoes. Cooked foods containing starches include boiled rice, various forms of bread and noodles (including pasta). As an additive for food processing, arrowroot and tapioca are commonly used as well. Commonly used starches around the world are: arracacha, buckwheat, banana, barley, cassava, kudzu, oca, sago, sorghum, regular household potatoes, sweet potato, taro and yams. Edible beans, such as favas, lentils and peas, are also rich in starch. When a starch is pre-cooked, it can then be used to thicken cold foods. This is referred to as a pregelatinized starch. Otherwise starch requires heat to thicken, or "gelatinize."[vague]The actual temperature depends on the type of starch. A modified food starch undergoes one or more chemical modifications, which allow it to function properly under high heat and/or shear frequently encountered during food processing. Food starches are typically used as thickeners and stabilizers in foods such as puddings, custards, soups, sauces, gravies, pie fillings, and salad dressings, but have many other uses. Resistant starch is starch that escapes digestion in the small intestine of healthy individuals. Plants use starch as a way to store excess glucose, and thus also use starch as food during mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation.
