Methanol and Algae oil were used as a raw material to study the effect of low frequency ultrasound on biodiesel production at 303 K, 323 K using molar ratio of oil to methanol ranging from 1:3, 1:6, 1:9 , and the quantity of dodecane catalyst from 1%, 2%, 3%, and 5% (wt/wt) of the weight of Algae oil. The reaction mixture consists of Algae oil, methanol, and sodium hydroxide. Sodium hydroxide was dissolved into methanol followed by addition of Algae oil to the solution. Since, the Algae oil and methanol

INTRODUCTION Photosynthesis is a chemical process in which plants, algae and certain bacteria produce oxygen and glucose using the energy from the sunlight. This process is important for life because of the oxygen and glucose released; these products are used in many life processes. Photosynthesis takes places in a wide variety of organisms and also comes in different forms; these include a form of photosynthesis that does not produce oxygen which is called anoxygenic and the other form which does
