The four levels of biological organization to which Ecology is basically concerned are:
1. Macromolecules-tissues-populations-biome
2. Macromolecules-organisms-population-biome
3. Tissues-organs-community-biome
4. Organisms-Populations-Community-Biome
Physiological ecology
1. works at the organismic level
2. Tries to understand the adaptation with respect to survival only
3. Tries to understand the adaptation with respect to reproduction only
4. None of these
A wide variety of habitats within a biome can be a result of
1. Regional variation of temperature and precipitation.
2. Local variation of temperature and precipitation
3. Both 1 and 2
4. Natural selection
A. | Life exists in compost pits, permafrost polar regions. |
B. | Our intestine host only 3-10 microbes. |
C. | Major biomes of India include desert rainforest and tundra. |
D. | The important physicochemical components alone characterise different habitats. |

Which of the following is best suited with the abiotic factor temperature, playing role in changes in the physicochemical environment of different habitats?
1. The average temperature of land is approximately 50 throughout the year
2. The temperature of temperate countries is very much favorable for mango trees
3. Temperature affects the kinetics of enzyme and hence the basal metabolic activity of the body
