Answer 2

‘Methane can be obtained by microbial aerobic respiration of urban agriculture or industrial waste’ is a FALSE statement.

Explanation:  

• Methane is a very useful biogas which is produced by microbial anaerobic respiration of Urban and rural household waste and industrial waste.  

• Aerobic respiration results in the formation of carbon dioxide and not methane. Hence the statement given above is incorrect.  

• Methane is also produced by decomposition of carbohydrates by the decomposers such as earthworms, present in the soil.  

• These are again taken up by the plants to continue the carbon cycle. Methane is useful a gas used ‘extensively as a fuel’.
