Ecosystem PYQ

Given below are two statements: Statement I: In ecosystem, there is unidirectional flow of energy of sun from producers to consumers. Statement II: Ecosystems are exempted from 2nd law of thermodynamics. In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below:

Given below are two statements: Statement I : The primary source of energy in an ecosystem is solar energy. Statement II : The rate of production of organic matter during photosynthesis in an ecosystem is called net primary productivity (NPP). In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below:

Which of the following is the unit of productivity of an Ecosystem?

Consider the pyramid of energy of an ecosystem given below:  If $T_4$ is equivalent to 1000 J , what is the value at $T_1$ ?

In an ecosystem if the Net Primary Productivity (NPP) of first trophic level is $100 x\left(\mathrm{kcal} \mathrm{m}^{-2}\right) \mathrm{yr}^{-1}$, what would be the GPP (Gross Primary Productivity) of the third trophic level of the same ecosystem?

Which one of the following is not a limitation of ecological pyramids?

In the equation GPP - R = NPP GPP is Gross Primary Productivity NPP is Net Primary Productivity R here is :

The amount of nutrients such as carbon, nitrogen, potassium and calcium present in the soil at any given time is referred to as :

Identify the correct statement: A. Detrivores perform fragmentation. B. The humus is further degraded by some microbes during mineralisation. C. Water soluble inorganic nutrients go down into the soil and get precipitated by a process called leaching. D. The detritus food chain begins with living organism. E. Earthworms break down detritus into smaller particles by a process called catabolism. Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

Which one of the following will accelerate phosphorus cycle?

Detritivores breakdown detritus into smaller particles. This process is called:

Given below are two statements: Statement $I$: Decomposition is a process in which the detritus is degraded into simpler substances by microbes. Statement $\mathrm{II}$: Decomposition is faster if the detritus is rich in lignin and chitin. In light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below:
