Solution

Garbage is converted into compost by micro-organisms.

Explanation:

Micro-organisms like bacteria and fungi break down organic waste through a natural process called composting. This biological decomposition turns food scraps and plant matter into a nutrient-rich material. The resulting compost recycled back into the earth acts as an excellent natural fertiliser for plants.

Read the following paragraph and write the answers to the questions asked.

Sulphuric acid is present in the acid rain and materials coming out of mines. You know that erosion of metals present in statues, bridges and buildings occurs due to it. Sulphuric acid is a source of energy for some species of bacteria like Acidiphilium spp. and Acidithiobacillus ferrooxidans. Hence, these bacteria can control the soil pollution occurring due to acid rain. Water soluble salts of uranium are present in the wastes produced during electroplating and in effluent released in the environment from the atomic energy plant. Geobacter convert these salts of uranium into insoluble salts and thereby prevent those salts from mixing with groundwater sources.
