2. Why are termites a great subject for biomimicry research? Because they can make souces of energy that imitate the real ones but are better for the enviornment

3. What is an enzyme? What is a catalyst? they are something that speeds up the process of something

4. What is cellulosic material? The parts of a plant we dont eat (the leafs and core part of the corn]

5. Why would cellulosic ethanol be more sustainable and efficient than biofuels using corn or sugar cane? I don't think so because we eat those things so it would just be wasting the food. But then it would be helping the eniviornment.
