30s - Q2
Biomass is useful to produce __________.
Transportation fuels
Biochemicals
Chemicals
Fibers
30s - Q3
Which of the following is an example of a solid biomass fuel that is commonly used for heating and cooking in many parts of the world?
Wood
Natural gas
Petroleum
Coal
30s - Q4
Which of the following is a gaseous biofuel produced through the anaerobic digestion of organic matter, such as food waste or animal manure?
Carbon dioxide
Ethylene
Biogas
Methane
30s - Q5
Which of the following is a liquid biofuel commonly produced from crops such as corn, sugarcane, or soybeans?
LPG
Kerosene
Diesel
Ethanol
30s - Q6
What is the process through which dendrothermal energy is converted into usable power?
The heat from burning wood is used to create steam, which drives a turbine connected to a generator
Wood is transformed into a liquid form that can be easily burned for energy
Burning wood directly heats up wires that produce electricity
Wood is chopped into smaller pieces and used as fuel in power plants
30s - Q7
Why is dendrothermal energy considered a form of bioenergy?
Because it harnesses the energy of ocean waves for power generation
Because it involves using organic material (wood) as a fuel source
Because it relies on nuclear reactions to generate heat
Because it utilizes geothermal heat from the Earth's core
30s - Q8
What is a primary advantage of using dendrothermal energy in remote or rural areas?
It is dependent on weather conditions for energy production
It is only suitable for densely populated urban areas
It provides a reliable and locally-sourced energy solution
It requires extensive infrastructure for implementation
30s - Q9
What are some common examples of biomass used for dendrothermal energy?
Solar panels and wind turbines
Wood chips, sawdust, and agricultural residues
Coal and oil
Plastic waste and metal scraps
30s - Q10
How does dendrothermal energy contribute to sustainable energy practices?
It relies on non-renewable resources for fuel
It promotes the use of organic waste for energy production
It produces harmful emissions that pollute the environment
It is a costly and inefficient energy source
30s - Q11
What is the primary component of biogas that makes it a useful source of energy?
Methane
Nitrogen
Carbon dioxide
Hydrogen
30s - Q12
What is the environmental benefit of using biogas as a renewable energy source?
Maintaining natural resources
Depleting ozone layer
Reducing greenhouse gas emissions
Increasing waste production
30s - Q13
What type of organic materials are commonly used in the production of biogas?
Plastic bottles
Metal cans
Food waste, animal manure, and sewage sludge
Glass jars
30s - Q14
What is the main difference between biogas and natural gas?
Biogas is produced from organic waste, while natural gas is a fossil fuel extracted from underground reservoirs.
Biogas is colorless, while natural gas is odorless.
Biogas is cheaper than natural gas due to its production process.
Biogas contains only methane, while natural gas contains a mixture of hydrocarbons.
30s - Q15
What is the main advantage of using biogas over traditional fossil fuels?
Limited availability
Renewable and sustainable
High emissions
High cost
