BIOLOGY REVISION WORKSHEET 24-25

Chapter- OUR ENVIRONMENT

Q1. The amount of energy transferred from a trophic level to the next trophic level is ____ %.
a) 1%
b) 10%
c) 90%
d) 50%

Q2. All living organisms are directly or indirectly dependent on ________ for their food requirements-
a) Producers
b) Decomposers
c) Parasites
d) All of these

Q3. The increase in concentration of harmful chemicals at successive trophic levels is called _______________.
a) Food chain
b) Energy flow
c) Ten percent law
d) Biological magnification

Q4. Which of the two sets belong to the same trophic level?
a) Rabbit: Tiger
b) Vulture : Deer
c) Grasshopper : Hawk
d) Frog : Lizard

Q5. Assertion: Some harmful chemicals enter our bodies through the food chain.
Reason: Pesticides and other chemicals which are used to protect our crops get washed down into the soil &
are absorbed by the plants along with water and minerals.

Q6. Assertion: Depletion of ozone is responsible for the entry of harmful UV rays in our atmosphere.
Reason: Ozone is used as refrigerant or in fire extinguishers.

Q7. Assertion: Producers have maximum energy in a food chain.


Reason: Green plants in a terrestrial ecosystem capture about 10% of the energy of sunlight that falls on their
leaves and convert it into food energy.

Q8. Assertion: Food chains generally consist of only 3 or 4 steps/trophic levels.


Reason: There is great loss of energy at each trophic level so that very little usable energy remains after
four trophic levels.

Q9. Assertion: Ozone layer at the higher level of atmosphere shield’s the surface of earth from harmful
ultraviolet radiations from Sun.
Reason: Ozone is very poisonous at the ground/lower level of atmosphere.

Q10. How is ozone formed? Explain how ozone being a deadly poison can still perform an essential function
for our environment.
Q11. Observe the food chains (a), (b) and (c) and answer the questions.

a) In which food chain(s), tertiary consumer level is present?


b) Which food chain is seen in pond water?
c) If the producer level in each food chain had 10,000J of energy-

(i) In which food chain, the top carnivore will have


maximum energy?
(ii) Which of the two- frog or scorpion will receive more
energy?

d) Which of the two- snake or deer will have more amounts of


harmful chemicals? Give reason.

e) Identify/ name the organism present at:

(i) Second trophic level in food chain (b)


(ii) Secondary consumer level in food chain (c)

Q12. Observe the figures X and Y. Answer the questions that


follow.

a) Which of the two figures is representing flow of energy in an ecosystem?


b) Which energy supports all the activities of the living world?
c) State the energy conversion that occurs at first tropic level.
d) Out of producers, herbivores and carnivores, which one is -
(i) always present on primary consumer level?
(ii) always present on first trophic level?

X Y
Q13. What is an ecosystem? What are its components? With the help of examples differentiate between
natural and man-made / artificial ecosystems.

Q14. Why is flow of energy in the food chain unidirectional?

Q15. State the ten percent law of energy transfer in a food chain.

Q16. What are trophic levels? Why do food chains generally consist of only three to four trophic levels?

Q17. Give examples of decomposers. Explain the role of decomposers in the environment. (2 points)

Q18. Plastic cups were used to serve tea in trains in early days- these could be returned to the vendors,
cleaned and reused. Later, Kulhads were used instead of plastic cups. Now, paper cups are used for serving
tea.
What are the reasons for the shift from Plastic cups to Kulhads and then finally to paper cups? Give two
advantages of paper cups over kulhads.

Q19. Why are many manmade materials like plastic not broken down by the action of bacteria or other
saprophytes? Which physical processes can degrade these materials? What is the term given to such
materials?

Q20. All the manufacturers were advised to stop using a particular chemical compound as refrigerant as it has
serious environmental implications. What is the name of the chemical compound and how is it harmful for the
environment? What steps have been taken to limit this damage?

Q21. A farmer owned a few acres of crop fields and also raised many hens and goats on his land. He used to
feed crop residues to his animals and milk and meat obtained from these animals were consumed by his
family. He used a lot of fertilizers & pesticides in his fields to get a high yield and to kill pests. Later it was
found that crop grains from his field and even milk, meat obtained from his farm animals contain varying
amounts of pesticide residues which cannot be removed by washing.
a) Create a food chain using the above information.
b) Which organism will have the maximum amount of harmful chemicals in its body on the basis of above food
chain and why?
c) Suggest the changes that the farmer should bring in, to reduce the amount of chemicals in his plants and
animals.
