In gobar gas, the maximum amount is that of
Show Hint
Biogas or gobar gas is produced by anaerobic breakdown or digestion of biomass.
Updated On: May 5, 2024
- butane
- methane
- propane
- carbon dioxide.
Hide Solution
Verified By Collegedunia
The Correct Option is B
Solution and Explanation
Biogas or gobar gas is a methane-rich fuel gas produced by anaerobic breakdown or digestion of biomass with the help of methanogenic bacteria. It is made up of methane (50 - 70%), carbon dioxide (30 - 40%) with traces of nitrogen, hydrogen sulphide, and hydrogen.
Therefore, the correct option is C) methane.

- Given below are two statements: Statement I: In the RNA world, RNA is considered the first genetic material evolved to carry out essential life processes. RNA acts as a genetic material and also as a catalyst for some important biochemical reactions in living systems. Being reactive, RNA is unstable.
Statement II: DNA evolved from RNA and is a more stable genetic material. Its double helical strands being complementary, resist changes by evolving repair mechanisms. In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below:- NEET (UG) - 2025

Microbes in Human Welfare
There are several valuable microorganisms that are beneficial to humans in various manners such as:
In Household Products
- Fermentation of milk to produce yogurt.
- Milk cuddling to compose curd, cheese, and paneer.
In Industrial Products
- Production of beverages such as wine, beer, whiskey, brandy, or rum.
- Production of antibiotics such as Penicillin and other chemical substances to kill or retard the expansion of disease-causing microbes.
Fermented Beverages
- A fermentor is used to produce microbes on a large scale for industrial purposes.
- The brewer’s yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae) is used to make ethanol. At this time, the yeast ferments malted cereals and fruit juices.
Antibiotics
- The term antibiotic means “against life”. These materials can kill or destroy the growth of other microbes.
