What is the process of detrifying?
The breakdown of organisms into large pieces of organic matter (detritus)
What is the difference between biogas and natural gas?
Natural gas:-is a gas consisting primarily of methane, typically with 0-20% higher hydrocarbons(primarily ethane). It is found associated with other fossil fuel ,in coal bedBiogas:-typically refers to a gas produced by the biological breakdown of organic matter in the absence of oxygen Biogas originates from biogenic material and is a type of biofuel. Biogas is produced by anaerobic digestion or fermentation
What process is associated with long term cycling of matter through the biosphere?
The breakdown of organic material by decomposers.
What Is produced through decay of organic matter and then these ions are oxygenated into and?
Ammonium; nitrates; nitrites
Is methane expensive?
No- it is a very common gas, and may be produced by any decomposing organic matter that decays.
Biogas with max capacity of gas?
Biogas typically refers to a mixture of gases produced by the breakdown of organic matter in the absence of oxygen. Biogas can be produced from regionally available raw materials such as recycled waste. It is a renewable energy source and in many cases exerts a very small carbon footprint.
Is the breakdown of organic matter in the presence of oxygen mineralization?
It is Respiration
How does fungi get its energy?
From the breakdown and absorption of organic matter. Detritus, actually.
What is the process of detrifying?
The breakdown of organisms into large pieces of organic matter (detritus)
What is the natural breakdown of organic matter called?
Decomp, or decomposition, nice ways of referring to rotting.

What are the three types of methane formation?
1) Methane is produced by vegetation that is buried and being turned into coal. The heat and temperature result in the liberation of methane from more complex organic molecules.2) Methane is produced by bacteria breaking down organic matter in the absence of oxygen, plant material at the bottom of stagnant lakes for example.3) Methane is produced when clathrates warm up. Clathrates are complex compounds of water and hydrocarbons, and many millions of tonnes exist at the bottom of the ocean and in the tundra.4) Methane is produced in the stomachs of ruminant animals such as cows and sheep by the breakdown of plant material in their stomachs.
What process is associated with long term cycling of matter through the biosphere?
The breakdown of organic material by decomposers.
The warm temperatures and high humidity of rain forests contribute to rapid breakdown of organic matter?
decomposers
What two things are produced when an organic matter is burned?
H2O and CO2
Is produced through decay of organic matter. Then these ions are oxygenated into and .?
water
4 conditions necessary for decay of organic matter caused by microbes?
oxygen, moisture, absence of sunlight, heat
