Biomass can be defined or described as:

  1. petroleum

  2. organic matter which can be converted to fuel

  3. inorganic matter which can be converted to fuel

  4. massive living things


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Biomass is organic matter that can be used as energy source, made up of wood, crops and animal waste. It is renewable source of energy.

Choose the correct statement.

  1. Biomass energy causes no pollution.

  2. Biomass energy causes heavy pollution.

  3. Biomass energy causes less pollution as compared to conventional sources of energy.

  4. Biomass energy is costly.


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Biomass : Energy comes from living things like wood, animal wastes. Biomass does not produce pollutants like coal and petroleum does as it is completely organic. But burning of it still produce pollutants.
