  3.    Individual- Community-Population- Ecosystem-Biosphere
  4.    Individual-Community-Population- Ecosystem-Biosphere
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> Individual- Population- Community- Ecosystem- Biosphere
ORGANISM ID THE LOWEST LEVEL IN THE ECOLOGICAL LEVELS AS IT IS AN INDIVIDUAL BEING HAVING THE ABILITY TO ACT AND FUNCTION INDEPENDENTLY
POPULATION IS A GROUP OF ORGANISMS USUALLY OF SAME SPECIES OCCUPYING A DEFINED AREA AT A PARTICULAR TIME.
A COMMUNITY IS A GROUP OF DIFFERENT SPECIES LIVING AND INTERACTING WITH EACH OTHER IN THE SAME GEOGRAPHICAL AREA AT THE SAME TIME.

  3.    Can be both inverted or upright
  4.    None of the above
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> Inverted
IN A FOREST THE PRODUCER ARE SMALL IN NUMBER FOLLOWED BY MORE HERBIVORES AND THAN NEXT LEVEL CONSUMERS. FOR EXAMPLE- LARGE TREES ARE LESS IN NUMBER FOLLOWED BY MORE BIRDS AND THAN PARASITES AND HYPER-PARASITES,
Question 93. Which of the following statements are correct?
1. Mangroves grow in oxygen rich water logged soil which consist of Hydrogen Sulphide.
2. Some of the mangroves are included in IUCN Red List.
Select the correct option from the codes given below:
  1.    Only 1
  2.    Only 2
  3.    Both 1 & 2
  4.    Neither 1 & 2
 Discuss Question

Question 95. Which of the following are the effects of Eutrophication?
1. Eutrophication creates a detritus layer in the ponds & lakes and produces successively shallower depth of surface water.
2. The water body is eventually reduced into marsh whose plant community is transformed from an aquatic environment to recognizable terrestrial ecosystem.
Select the correct option from the codes given below:
  1.    Only 1
  2.    Only 2
  3.    Both 1 & 2
  4.    Neither 1 & 2

Answer: Option C. -> Both 1 & 2
EUTROPHICATION CREATES A DETRITUS LAYER IN THE PONDS & LAKES AND PRODUCES SUCCESSIVELY SHALLOWER DEPTH OF SURFACE WATER. THE WATER BODY IS EVENTUALLY REDUCED INTO MARSH WHOSE PLANT COMMUNITY IS TRANSFORMED FROM AN AQUATIC ENVIRONMENT TO RECOGNIZABLE TERRESTRIAL ECOSYSTEM.
Question 96. Which of the following statements are correct?
1. The level of organic matter present in water is known as biological oxygen demand.
2. Greater BOD, lesser is the polluting potential.
Select the correct option from the codes given below:
  1.    Only 1
  2.    Only 2
  3.    Both 1 & 2
  4.    Neither 1 & 2
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> Only 1
THE LEVEL OF ORGANIC MATTER PRESENT IN WATER IS KNOWN AS BIOLOGICAL OXYGEN DEMAND. THE GREATER THE BIOLOGICAL OXYGEN DEMAND, GREATER IS THE POLLUTING POTENTIAL.
