Real questions that test this

सांडपाण्याचे वनस्पती खाद्यमध्ये रूपांतर ......... मुळे होते. / The sewage is converted into plant food by :

(a)भौतिक क्रिया / Physical action

(b)रासायनिक क्रिया / Chemical action

(c)कार्बन डायऑक्साइड / Carbon dioxide

(d)जीवाणू / Bacteria

1)(a), (c)
2)(b), (c)
3)(b), (d)✓ Correct
4)(b), (c), (d)

Sewage is converted into plant food (nutrients like nitrates and phosphates) primarily through chemical actions and the action of bacteria.

सांडपाण्याच्या जीवाणू मार्फत होणाऱ्या एरोबिक अपघटनाच्या प्रक्रियेत ______ / During the aerobic decomposition of sewage, by bacteria ______

(a)आवश्यक असलेला ऑक्सिजन हा सरळ वातावरणातून घेतला जातो / the required oxygen is directly taken from the atmosphere

(b)तयार झालेल्या कार्बन डायऑक्साइडची अदलाबदल वातावरणातील ऑक्सिजन बरोबर होते / the produced carbon dioxide is interchanged with the atmospheric oxygen

(c)मातीच्या विविध थरात उपलब्ध असलेला कार्बन डायऑक्साइड वापरला जातो / the carbon dioxide present in different layers of soil is used

1)(a) आणि (b) / (a) and (b)
2)(b) / (b)✓ Correct
3)(b) आणि (c) / (b) and (c)
4)वरीलपैकी कोणतेही नाही / None of the above

During aerobic decomposition by bacteria, the carbon dioxide produced is interchanged with atmospheric oxygen to sustain the biological process.
