Methane can be obtained by microbial aerobic decomposition of urban agricultural and industrial waste This statement is true or false
Answers
Statement that methane is produced by aerobic respiration is false.
•Methanogens are microbes that release methane gas.
•They are obligate anaerobes, this means they undergo fermentation in anaerobic conditions.
•Anaerobic conditions refer to fermentation process in which process occurs in absence of oxygen or air.
•Methanobacterium is example of Methanogens.
•Urban agricultural and industrial waste occurs through the process of biodegradation.
•The waste is used as substrate by microbes.
•They take up required carbon, nitrogen and minerals from waste, thus degrading it, and helping the environment.
‘Methane’ can be obtained by ‘microbial aerobic decomposition’ of urban agricultural and ‘industrial waste’ is a true statement.
Explanation:
- ‘Methane’ can be obtained by ‘microbial decomposition’. This is true for biodegradable waste.
- In case of biodegradable waste the waste are ‘broken down’ into small particles by the decomposers such as earthworm.
- This decomposers then break down the smaller particles and aerobically degrade them.
- This process of degradation results in the formation of Methane which can further be used as a very important source of fuel.
