Match the suitable renewable and non-renewable resources. Sources A B C Renewable Coal Wind Petroleum Non-renewable Hydrogen Natural gas Solar energy

Renewable sources: Wind, solar energy, hydrogen. A renewable resource, also known as a flow source, is a natural resource which will replenish to replace the portion depleted by usage and consumption, either through natural reproduction or other recurring processes in a finite amount of time in a human time scale. Non-renewable: Coal, petroleum, natural gas. A non-renewable resource (also called finite resource) is a natural resource that cannot be readily replaced by natural means at a pace quick enough to keep up with consumption. An example is carbon-based fossil fuels.

What is energy management?

Energy management is a process that involves optmisation of energy use for the best possible outcomes and taking steps for its conservation. It also includes planning related to the production of energy and its storage for future usage. So, the ultimate aim of this process is not only to save the cost but also to achieve complete environmental sustainability.

Study the food chain below, correct it and convert it into a pyramid of energy. M u l b e r r y → S p a r r o w → C a t e r p i l l a r → K i t e .

Mulberry is an autotrophic plant. The caterpillar feeds on mulberry which is the primary consumer. The sparrow is a bird that feeds on the caterpillar and acts as the secondary consumer. The kite feeds on the sparrow and is the tertiary consumer. The energy flow from producers towards consumers of different levels in the food chain. The corrected food chain is as given below: M u l b e r r y → C a t e r p i l l a r → S p a r r o w → K i t e

We are surrounded by smoke. Is this situation good for our health ? Give reason.

Smoke primarily consists of particles and can include other gaseous air pollutants, including nitrogen oxides, carbon monoxide, and hydrocarbons that may be toxic. Exposure to smoke can cause health effects and make existing health conditions worse. Most healthy children and adults will recover from short-term smoke exposure. Smoke content above a particular level can cause allergy and irritation to the eyes and throat. High smoke content in the air can also cause upper respiratory infections such as bronchitis and pneumonia. However, certain sensitive populations may experience more severe acute and chronic symptoms, and even healthy people may experience symptoms. People with heart conditions or respiratory illnesses, children, and seniors are more sensitive to the effects of smoke. Therefore, we can say that this situation is not good for us.
