Explanation:

option  B sun is correct answer . as remaining is pollutating sources 

A natural resource that has inherent capacity to replenish is called as

  1. Renewable resource

  2. Non renewable resource

  3. Exhaustible resource

  4. Inexhaustible resource


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Renewable resources are those that are replenished naturally over relatively short periods of time. It includes solar energy, tidal energy, geothermal energy, biomass, etc. Thus the correct answer is option A.

Inexhaustible and non-conventional source of energy is

  1. Solar radiations

  2. Wind power

  3. Sea tides

  4. All the above


Correct Option: D

A renewable exhaustible natural resource is 

  1. Forest

  2. Coal

  3. Petroleum

  4. Minerals


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Natural resources occur naturally within environments, that exist relatively undistributed by humanity, in a natural form. A natural resource is often characterized by amounts of biodiversity and geodiversity existent in various ecosystems. Natural resources are derived from the environment. Biotic resources are obtained from the biosphere (living and organic material), such as forests and animals, and the materials, that can be obtained from them. Forests and wildlife are both renewable in the short term but non renewable once a point has been reached or to a point. Forests can be managed to some degree sustainable forestry cuts older trees, while planting new one to replace them, this works in some types of environments better than others.

Balance of oxygen and carbon dioxide in atmosphere is maintained by :

  1. plants

  2. animals

  3. humans

  4. All of the above


Correct Option: D
Explanation:
The balance of oxygen and carbon dioxide is maintained in the atmosphere by the oxygen released by plants during photosynthesis and carbon dioxide released by human and animals.

Hence the option D is correct.

Isotope of oxygen is used to detect the reaction mechanism of:

  1. formation of esters

  2. formation of amines

  3. formation of alkanes

  4. formation of alkenes


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Isotope of oxygen is used to detect the reaction mechanism of formation of esters. 

What process replenishes the atmosphere with oxygen?

  1. Oxygen Cycle

  2. Water Cycle

  3. Photosynthesis

  4. Both $A$ and $C$


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

During the process of photosynthesis, the hydrogen is combined with carbon atoms to produce oxygen which is then released into the atmosphere.


Hence the option C is correct.

Oxygen is not a constituent of:

  1. urea

  2. cloth

  3. graphite

  4. book


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Oxygen is not present in graphite. It is am allotrope of carbon. 

Animals cannot live without :

  1. plants

  2. air

  3. oxygen

  4. only A and B


Correct Option: A,B,C
Explanation:

Plant is necessary for animals for food and shelter,air is important for atmosphere and oxygen is important for breathing.

Plants consumes ____________ and gives _____________.

  1. oxygen, carbon dioxide

  2. carbon dioxide, oxygen

  3. sulphur dioxide, oxygen

  4. oxygen, sulphur dioxide


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Plants consumes carbon dioxide and gives oxygen.

As in the process of photosynthesis plants consumes carbon dioxide and during photosynthesis plants release oxygen.
