Environmental Science Questions with solutions MCQs

1. Why do food chains and food webs start with green plants?

A

Because plants can absorb the sun`s energy to produce food

B

Because most green plants are tasty

C

Because most green plants eat other plants

D

Because most green plants are animal eaters

Environmental Science General Awareness
Correct Answer : A
Explanation :

All food chains start with energy from the sun. This energy is captured by plants. Thus the living part of a food chain always starts with plant life and ends with an animal. Plants are called producers because they are able to use light energy from the sun to produce food (sugar) from carbon dioxide and water.

B

A large number of Fungi in the marble of the Taj Mahal

C

Yellowing of the marble on account of Soot particles

D

Smoke from the adjoining industries pollute the marble

Environmental Science General Awareness
Correct Answer : A
Explanation :

Acid rain corrodes the marbles of monuments. The phenomenon is also called “Marble cancer”. Suspended particulate matter, such as soot particles emitted by Mathura oil refinery, has contributed towards yellowing of the marble. These two are the threat to the beauty of the Taj Mahal.

Natural Gas

B

Petrol

C

Diesel

D

Coal

Environmental Science General Awareness
Correct Answer : A
Explanation :

Heat is produced when C and H combine with oxygen (O) during combustion. Natural gas is primarily methane (CH4), which has a higher energy content relative to other fuels, and thus, it has a relatively lower CO2-to-energy content

7. According to Boyle`s law, if the volume occupied by a certain gas is doubled

A

The pressure of the gas will be doubled

B

The pressue of the gas will be quadrupled

C

The pressure of the gas will remain constant

D

The pressure of the gas will be halved

Environmental Science General Awareness
Correct Answer : D
Explanation :

The law itself can be stated as follows: For a fixed mass of an ideal gas kept at a fixed temperature, pressure and volume are inversely proportional. ... Therefore, when the volume is halved, the pressure is doubled; and if the volume is doubled, the pressure is halved.
