(d) A is false,but R is true.

1. Assertion :An ecosystem is made of different types of community.


Reason :Ecosystem is community of different organisms that interact with each
otherand surroundings
2. Assertion: Polythene bags and plastic containers are non-biodegradable
substances.Reason: They can be broken down by microorganisms in natural simple
harmless substances

(a) cycling of materials and food chains
(b) energy flow and self-sustainability
(c) carbon cycle and biotic diversity
(d) cycling of materials and flow of energy
4. The role of fungi and bacteria in an ecosystem is to :
(a) increase the supply of nutrients
(b) increase the supply of energy
(c) release nutrients from dead organic matter
(d) increase the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere
5. Refer to the given events regarding thinning of ozone layer and arrange them
ina sequence.
I. Active chlorine is produced in presence of UV radiations.
II. CFCs are released in the air.
III. Ozone layer in the stratosphere become thin.
IV. CFCs enter from troposphere into stratosphere.
V. Use of CFCs in refrigerators and air conditioners as coolants.
VI. Active chlorine destroy ozone by converting it into oxygen
