The correct sequence of steps in Bio-gas production is ________.

The correct sequence of steps in Bio-gas production is ________.

Options

  1. AHydrolysis \rightarrow Acidogenesis \rightarrow Methanogenesis
  2. BAcidogenesis \rightarrow Hydrolysis \rightarrow Methanogenesis
  3. CSolubilization \rightarrow Methanogenesis \rightarrow Acidogenesis
  4. DMethanogenesis \rightarrow Acidogenesis \rightarrow Hydrolysis

Correct answer

A. Hydrolysis \rightarrow Acidogenesis \rightarrow Methanogenesis

Step-by-step solution

Biogas production involves the anaerobic digestion of complex organic matter, which occurs in three main stages:

1. Hydrolysis: Complex organic polymers like carbohydrates, proteins, and lipids are broken down into simpler soluble monomers such as sugars, amino acids, and fatty acids by hydrolytic bacteria.

2. Acidogenesis: The simple monomers are converted into volatile fatty acids, acetic acid, hydrogen, and carbon dioxide by acidogenic bacteria.

3. Methanogenesis: Methanogenic archaea convert the acetic acid, hydrogen, and carbon dioxide into methane and carbon dioxide (biogas).

The correct sequence is Hydrolysis \rightarrow Acidogenesis \rightarrow Methanogenesis.

Answer: Hydrolysis \rightarrow Acidogenesis \rightarrow Methanogenesis
