Q. No.The producers in aquatic ecosystems include all except:
1.
cyanobacteria
2.
algae
3.
plants
4.
zooplankton
1. 0.1%
2. 1%
3. 10%
4. 20%
Each trophic level has a certain mass of living material at a particular time, best called as:
| 1. | Biomass | 2. | Standing state |
| 3. | Standing crop | 4. | Gross productivity |
Organisms that are capable of conversion of inorganic material into organic material with the help of the radiant energy of the sun include:
| I: | Plants |
| II: | Photosynthetic bacteria |
| III: | Chemosynthetic bacteria |
| 1. | I only | 2. | I and II only |
| 3. | I and III only | 4. | I, II, and III |
The three steps of decomposition occur:
1. sequentially, with catabolism being the last step.
2. sequentially, with leaching being the last step.
3. simultaneously.
4. sequentially, but not in a particular order.
By process of leaching during decomposition of detritus, water soluble :
| 1. | organic nutrients go down the soil horizon and get precipitated as available salts |
| 2. | inorganic nutrients go down the soil horizon and get precipitated as unavailable salts |
| 3. | organic nutrients go down the soil horizon and get precipitated as available salts |
| 4. | inorganic nutrients go down the soil horizon and get precipitated as available salts |
Suppose in an area, the energy present in total incident sunlight falling on primary producers is 10,00,000 J and about 10,000 J is converted by them into biomass. What percent of PAR have the primary producers been able to convert?
| 1. | 1 % | 2. | 2 % |
| 3. | 10 % | 4. | 20 % |
| 1. | Fragmentation | 2. | Leaching |
| 3. | Catabolism | 4. | Humification |
| 1. | Organism | 2. | Population |
| 3. | Cell | 4. | Biomolecules |
1. Easily broken down by microbes
2. Rapid decomposition
3. Acts as a reservoir of nutrients
4. Forms very rapidly
