During anaerobic digestion of organic waste, such as in producing biogas, which of the following is left undegraded?

Correct answer: A. Lignin

  • A. Lignin
  • B. Lipids
  • C. Cellulose
  • D. Hemi-cellulose

Explanation

Lignin is a complex, resistant polymer that anaerobic microbes degrade poorly, so it commonly remains as undegraded residue during biogas production. Cellulose and hemicellulose are more readily converted into simpler compounds.
