1. What are bioplastics?

Bioplastics are biodegradable materials made from renewable sources such

as biomass, such as vegetable oils, sawdust, or food waste.

2. What is the advantage of using bioplastics over conventional plastics?

The advantage of using bioplastics over conventional plastics is that

bioplastics are biodegradable and come from renewable sources, which
reduces the use of fossil fuels and prevents damage to the environment
caused by disposal of single-use plastics.

3. What is the history of wind power?

People have been using the power of the wind for hundreds of years,
initially using windmills to grind wheat into flour and to pump water. Now
wind turbines are used to generate electricity, with wind farms grouping
together many turbines to generate large amounts of electricity.

4. What is the problem with wind-generated power?

The problem with wind-generated power is that electricity is only produced

when the wind blows, so it is not a constant source of energy.

5. How do tides generate electricity?

Tides make water rise and fall twice every day, and this movement can be
used to generate electricity. Water in river estuaries is trapped behind a
barrier and then released as the tide goes out. When released, the water
flows through electricity generator turbines.

6. What is the problem with generating electricity from tides?

The problem with generating electricity from tides is that electricity is only
generated at certain times each day, and the barrier used to trap the water
may interfere with wildlife habitats.

7. How can solar energy be used to generate electricity?

Solar energy can be used to generate electricity by using photovoltaic cells,
which can change solar energy to electrical energy. However, this can only
happen when the sun is shining.

8. What is the advantage of using solar energy to generate electricity?

The advantage of using solar energy to generate electricity is that it is a

renewable source of energy and does not produce any harmful waste
products, such as carbon dioxide, when generating electricity.

9. What is the main problem with conventional plastics?

The main problem with conventional plastics is that they do not break
down easily and cause many problems for wildlife when they are thrown
away. The waste builds up on land and in the oceans.

10. What are the sources of biomass used to make bioplastics?

The sources of biomass used to make bioplastics include vegetable oils,

sawdust, and food waste, among others.

11. What is the benefit of using renewable sources of energy?

The benefit of using renewable sources of energy is that they are

sustainable and do not deplete natural resources like fossil fuels, which are
finite.

12. How do wind turbines generate electricity?

Wind turbines generate electricity by using the kinetic energy of the wind
to turn a rotor, which spins a generator to produce electricity.

13. What is a wind farm?

A wind farm is a collection of wind turbines that are grouped together to

generate large amounts of electricity.
 14. What is the main advantage of using wind energy to generate
electricity?

The main advantage of using wind energy to generate electricity is that it is

a clean, renewable source of energy that does not produce harmful
emissions or waste products.

15. What is a photovoltaic cell?

A photovoltaic cell is a device that converts solar energy into electrical

energy by using the photovoltaic effect, which occurs when certain
materials are exposed to light and generate an electrical current.

16. What is a solar energy farm?

A solar energy farm is a large-scale installation of photovoltaic cells used to

generate electricity from solar energy.
