Multiple Choice

Is biomass energy a renewable energy source?

Yes, always, because you can grow trees again.

No, it's just like fossil fuels.

It depends, only if the source is not overharvested.

No, because manure is not renewable.

Multiple Choice

What is biomass energy?

any organic matter that can be used by burning wood and other plant life.

Radiant energy emitted by the sun.

a combustible black or dark brown rock consisting mainly of carbonized plant matter, found mainly in underground deposits and widely used as fuel.
