REVISON WORKSHEET _ 16 FEB_ ONLINE SESSION


Q1. In natural ecosystems, decomposers include-
(a) only bacteria and fungi
(b) only microscopic animals
(c) herbivores and carnivores
(d) both (b) and ©
Q2. The percentage of solar radiation absorbed by all the green plants for the
process of photosynthesis is about-
(a) 1% (b) 8% (c) 5% (d) 10%
Q3. The second trophic level is always of-
(a) herbivores (b) autotrophs (c) carnivores (c) producers
Q4. The decomposers in an ecosystem-
(a) convert organic material to inorganic forms
(b) convert inorganic material to simpler forms
(c) convert inorganic material into organic compound
(d) do not break down organic compound
Q5. What will happen if all the deer are killed in the given food chain? Grass → Deer
→ Lion
(a) The population of grass decreases.
(b) The population of lions increases.
(c) The population of lions remains unchanged.
(d) The population of lions decreases and grass increases.
Q6. A food chain comprising birds, green plants, fish and man. The concentration of
harmful chemical entering the food chain will be maximum in
(a) green plants (b) man (c) birds (d) fish
Q7. Ozone layer is damaged by-
(a) methane (b) carbon-dioxide (c) Sulphur-dioxide (d) CFCs
Q8. Flow of energy in an ecosystem is always-
(a) unidirectional (b) bidirectional (c) multidirectional (d) no specific direction.
Q9. Acid rain is caused by the oxides of
(a) carbon (b) nitrogen only (c) sulphur only (d) sulphur and nitrogen
Q10. Which one of the following pairs belong to the category of primary consumers?
(a) Eagle and snake (b) Grasshoppers & cattle (c) Snake and frog (d) Water beetles &
fish
Q1. Assertion (A): Aquariums are known as the man- made ecosystems.
Reason (R): Aquariums are created and maintained by humans.
Q2. Assertion (A): The energy flow through different steps in the food chain is
unidirectional.
Reason (R): The energy which is captured by autotrophs does not revert back to the
solar input and passes to the herbivores.
Q3. Assertion (A): Biological magnification is the process in which harmful chemicals
enter a food chain and get accumulated progressively at each trophic level.
Reason (R): Biological magnification affects organisms belonging to different trophic
levels particularly the tertiary consumers.
Q4. Assertion (A): Ozone layer is getting depleted at the higher levels of the
atmosphere.
Reason (R): Chlorofluorocarbons affect the ozone layer which are used as
refrigerants and in fire extinguishers.
Q5. Assertion (A): Biodegradable substances result in the formation of compost and
natural replenishment.
Reason (R): It is due to breakdown of complex inorganic substances into simple
organic substances.
Q6. Assertion (A) : In an ecosystem, the function of producers is to convert organic
compounds into inorganic compounds.
Reason (R) : Green plants, the producers, transduce solar energy.
Q7. Assertion (A) : Ecology is study of relationship between living organisms and
their environment.
Reason (R) : The biotic community and non-living environment of an area function
together to form an ecosystem.
Q8. Assertion (A) : Animals adopt different strategies to survive in hostile
environment.
Reason (R) : Praying mantis is green in colour which merges with plant foliage.
Q9. Assertion (A) : Abiotic component of an ecosystem involves cycling of material
and flow of energy. Reason (R) : This is essential to keep biotic factors alive.
Q10. Assertion (A) : The crown fires are most destructive as they burn the tree top.
Reason (R) : Due to crown fire, the temperature of that area may rise up to 700°C.
Q11. Assertion (A) : Trophic levels are formed by only plants.
Reason (R) : Food chains and webs are formed due to linked organisms on the basis
of their nutrition.
Q12. Assertion (A) : A network of food chains existing together in an ecosystem is
known as food web. Reason (R) : An animal like kite cannot be a part of a food web.
Short Answer Type Questions:
Q1. Use of several pesticides which results in excessive accumulation of pesticides in
rivers or ponds, is a matter of deep concern. Justify this statement.
Q2. (i) List two human-made ecosystems.
(ii) "We do not clean a pond in the same manner as we do in an aquarium." Give
reason to justify this statement.
Q3. List two reasons to show that the existence of decomposers is essential in an
ecosystem.
Q4. "Energy flow in food chains is always unidirectional." Justify this statement.
Explain how the pesticides enter a food chain and subsequently get into our body.
Q5. How is ozone layer formed? State its importance to all life forms on earth. Why
the amount of ozone in the atmosphere dropped sharply in the 1980s?
