Biodegradation of organic matter MCQ - Practice Questions with Answers
Solve 1 Biodegradation of organic matter questions for RAS/RPSC preparation.
Practice questions
Q1Which of the following will undergo faster biodegradation?
Explanation
Biodegradation is faster when the material is soft, moist and rich in easily usable organic nutrients. Mango pulp has high moisture and simple organic matter, so microbes can break it down quickly. Mango peel is biodegradable, but its tougher outer tissues slow the process compared with pulp. Mango seed has a hard coat, and mango wood contains lignin and cellulose, making both slower to decompose. Therefore mango pulp undergoes the fastest biodegradation among the listed materials.
