Bamboo plant is growing in a far forest then what will be the trophic level of it
First trophic level (T1)
Second trophic level (T2)
Third trophic level (T3)
Fourth trophic level (T4)
The correct option is (A) : First trophic level (T1)
Each food level is referred to as a "trophic level" in the producer-consumer arrangement known as the trophic structure of an ecosystem, and ecological pyramids are used to show this arrangement graphically. The first trophic level (T1) is comprised of the green plants, which are producers. The bamboo plant is therefore at the lowest trophic level (T1).
Given below are two statements:
Statement I: Gause’s ‘Competitive Exclusion Principle’ states that two closely related species competing for the same resources cannot co-exist indefinitely and competitively inferior one will be eliminated eventually.
Statement II: In general, carnivores are more adversely affected by competition than herbivores.
In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below:
In the equation GPP - R = NPP
GPP is Gross Primary Productivity
NPP is Net Primary Productivity
R here is ________.
List-I | List-II | ||
(A) | 1 mol of H2O to O2 | (I) | 3F |
(B) | 1 mol of MnO-4 to Mn2+ | (II) | 2F |
(C) | 1.5 mol of Ca from molten CaCl2 | (III) | 1F |
(D) | 1 mol of FeO to Fe2O3 | (IV) | 5F |
In the given figure, which component has thin outer walls and highly thickened inner walls?
The energy flow in the ecosystem is one of the major factors that support the survival of such a large number of organisms. For almost all lifeforms on earth, solar energy is the primary source of energy. It is entertaining to find that we receive less than 50 % of the sun’s effective radiation on the earth. When we say effective radiation, we mean the radiation, which can be utilized by plants to carry out photosynthesis.
The energy flow takes place throughout the food chain and food web. During the process of energy flow in the ecosystem, plants being the producers absorb sunlight with the help of the chloroplasts and a part of it is converted into chemical energy in the process of photosynthesis. This energy is stored in different organic products in the plants and passed on to the primary consumers in the food chain when the herbivores consume the plants as food. Then followed by the secondary consumers. Finally, when tertiary consumers consume the carnivores, energy will again be degraded. Thus, the energy flow is unidirectional in nature.
