Question 1

Microalgae can be genetically modified (GM) to accumulate high levels of lipids (oils) for biofuel production when grown under nitrogen-deprived conditions.

Describe an investigation that could be carried out to find out if these lipid-producing GM microalgae yield a higher lipid mass per litre of culture than normal, non-GM microalgae when grown in nitrogen-deprived liquid medium.

Your answer should include experimental details and be written in full sentences.
