Written language only began at around 3200 BC, but spoken language has existed long ago. Learning by listening is a great way to: increases imagination and understanding improves your listening skills improves your own spoken accent learn while on the move reduce eye strain Now learn the vast amount of general knowledge available on Wikipedia through audio (audio article). You could even learn subconsciously by playing the audio while you are sleeping! If you are planning to listen a lot, you could try using a bone conduction headphone, or a standard speaker instead of an earphone.

Socrates SUMMARY ======= An algae bioreactor is used for cultivating micro or macro algae. Algae may be cultivated for the purposes of biomass production (as in a seaweed cultivator), wastewater treatment, CO2 fixation, or aquarium/pond filtration in the form of an algae scrubber. Algae bioreactors vary widely in design, falling broadly into two categories: open reactors and enclosed reactors. Open reactors are exposed to the atmosphere while enclosed reactors, also commonly called photobioreactors, are isolated to varying extent from the atmosphere. Specifically, algae bioreactors can be used to produce fuels such as biodiesel and bioethanol, to generate animal feed, or to reduce pollutants such as NOx and CO2 in flue gases of power plants. Fundamentally, this kind of bioreactor is based on the photosynthetic reaction which is performed by the chlorophyll-containing algae itself using dissolved carbon dioxide and sunlight energy. The carbon dioxide is dispersed into the reactor fluid to make it accessible for the algae. The bioreactor has to be made out of transparent material. The algae are photoautotroph organisms which perform oxygenic photosynthesis. The equation for photosynthesis: 6 C O 2 + 6 H 2 O ⟶ C 6 H 12 O 6 + 6 O 2 Δ H 0 = + 2870 k J m o l {\displaystyle {\begin{matrix}\mathrm {6\;CO_{2}+6\;H_{2}O\quad \longrightarrow \;C_{6}H_{12}O_{6}+6\;O_{2}} \qquad \Delta H^{0}=+2870\ {\frac {\mathrm {kJ} }{\mathrm {mol} }}\end{matrix}}}
