Question

Statement I: The animals that are capable of swimming in water are known as neuston.
Statement II: Decomposers are absent in limnetic zone.

• A. Both statements I and II are correct
• B. Both statements I and II are false
• C. Statement I is correct. But II is false
• D. Statement I is false. But II is true

Hint:

Remember, the limnetic zone contains a variety of organisms, including decomposers, which break down organic matter.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is D

- Statement I is false because neuston refers to organisms that live on the surface of water, not those that swim in it.
- Statement II is true, as decomposers can indeed be found in the limnetic zone of water bodies, particularly in the upper layers where light penetrates.
