3. | Grassland | 4. | Tundra |
Which of the following representations shows the pyramid of numbers in a forest ecosystem?
1. | A | 2. | B |
3. | C | 4. | D |
The accompanying figure represents an ecological pyramid. It is
1. | Pyramid of numbers in a grassland |
2. | Pyramid of biomass in a fallow land |
3. | Pyramid of biomass in a lake |
4. | Energy pyramid in a spring |
Consider the following statements:
I: | Trophic level in an ecosystem represents a functional level, not a species as such. |
II: | Saprophytes are accorded the position of a top consumer in an ecosystem. |
III: | A species can occupy more than one trophic level in the same ecosystem at the same time. |
Which of the above statements are true?
1. | I and II only | 2. | I and III only |
3. | II and III only | 4. | I, II, and III |
Given below is an imaginary pyramid of numbers. What could be one of the possibilities about certain organisms at some of the different levels?
1. | Level PC is "insects" and level SC is "small insectivorous birds". |
2. | Level PP is "phytoplanktons" in sea and "Whale" on top level TC |
3. | Level PP is "pipal trees" and level SC is "sheep". |
4. | Level PC is "rats" and level SC is "cats". |
