ECOSYSTEM

Q1.

Q2.

Q3. Assertion: pyramid of energy maybe upright or inverted


Reasoning: only 10% of energy goes to the next trophic level
Q4. Which type of pyramid is always upright and why?
Q5. Rate of decomposition depends on what?
Q6. Food chain in which microorganisms break down the dead organic matter is : parasitic food chain , detritus food
chain, consumer food chain, predator food chain
Q7. Biomass available for consumption to heterotrophs and the rate of formation of new organic matter by
consumers are referred to as?
Q8. What is the relationship between productivity, gross primary productivity, net primary productivity, secondary
productivity.
Q9. State difference between first trophic level of grazing food chain and detritus food chain
Q10. In grassland ecosystem if number of primary producers is 6 million, the number of top carnivore which may be
supported by them will be: 3 million, 30 million, 6 million, 60 million
Q11. In a food chain, a trophic level represents a functional mlevel , not a species. Explain
Q12. What is primary productivity. Why does it vary in different ecosystems
Q13. Give relation ship between gross and net primary productivity mathematically. Explain R
Q14. Select the option that correctly identifies A, B,C

ORGANISM TROPHIC LEVEL FOOD CHAIN


Eagle A Grazing
Earthworm Primary consumer B
Frog C Grazing
a) A -top carnivore, B- detritus, C-secondary consumer b) A -top carnivore, B- detritus, C- primary consumer
c) A - secondary consumer , B- grazing, C-secondary consumer d) A -scavenger, B- grazing, C-producer
Q15. The primary producer of deep sea hydrothermal vent ecosystem are:
Q16. Productivity at the second trophic level is always
a) greater than first trophic level b) less than first trophic level c) equal than first trophic level d) varies
Q17. Assertion: Production ecology deals with productivity Reasoning: Desert has lowest productivity
Q18. Assertion: net primary productivity is equal to gross primary productivity minus respiration
Reasoning: secondary productivity is produced by heterotrophs
Q19. Assertion: A network of food chains existing together is a food web
Reasoning: animal like kite cannot be a part of food chain
Q20. Annual net primary productivity of the whole biosphere is : a) 150 billion tons b) 160 billion tons c) 170 billion
tons d) 180 billion tons
Q21. Pyramid of biomass for grazing food chain represents a) gradual decrease of biomass from apex to base
b) gradual decrease of biomass from producer to tertiary consumer c) gradual increase of biomass from producer to
tertiary consumer d) no change of biomass
Q22. How many primary producers will be needed to support six tertiary consumers in grassland ecosystem.Draw a
grassland ecosystem to prove the above
Q23. Define: productivity, humification
Q24. Assertion: herbivores are key industry animals as they convert plant matter to animal matter
Reasoning: decomposers play a pivot role in ecosystem and they indirectly support producers
Q25. Assertion: pyramid of biomass is inverted Reasoning: biomass of fishes far exceed biomass of phytoplankton
Q26. Given fig represents pyramid of biomass in aquatic ecosystem Dry weight [Kgm -2 ]

B = 21

A=4
Identify A, B and select correct answer
1. A is the crop that supports and B is the crop that is supported
2. A is the crop that is supported and B is the crop that supports
3. A is phytoplankton and B is zooplankton 4. A is zooplankton and B is phytoplankton
a) 1 & 4 b) 2 &3 c) 1 & 3 d) 2 & 4
Q27. Assertion: Plant biomass is the food of herbivores and decomposers result from net primary productivity
Reasoning: gross primary productivity is rate of production of organic matter during photosynthesis.
Q28. Assertion: primary productivity of diff ecosystems can be compared easily
Reasoning: magnitude of primary productivity depends on photosynthetic capacity of producers and environmental
conditions
Q29. Which food chain is major conduit for energy flow in terrsestrial and aquatic ecosystem resp

Option Terrsestrial ecosystem Aquatic ecosystem


A Grazing Grazing
B Detritus Detritus
C Detritus Grazing
D Grazing Detritus

Q30. Given pyramid of biomass , each bar represents standing crop. Explain with example conditions where it is
possible

Trophic level 2

Trophic level 2
Will the pyramid of energy be of same shape in this situation. Explain
Q31.Draw a pyramid of numbers where a large no. of insects are feeding on leaves of tree. Draw its shape
Will the pyramid of energy be of same shape in this situation. Explain
