Which of the following is wrongly matched?

zoology biodiversity and conservation hotspots and methods of conservation biodiversity: conservation conservation of biodiversity basis of classification in animals basis of the classification of animals criteria for animal classification five kingdoms of living organisms biodiversity and need of classification biodiversity and classification

  1. Temperate zone - $20^{\circ}\, -\, 40^{\circ}$ latitude

  2. Hypolimnion -Thermal stratifications in lakes

  3. Ozone layer - Stratosphere

  4. Profundal zone - Dark zone

Show answer
Correct Option: A
Explanation:

The north temperate climate extends from the 'Tropic of Cancer' (approximately 23.5 north latitude) to the arctic circle (approximately 66.5 north latitude). The south temperate zone extends from the tropic of capricorn (approximately 23.5 south latitude) to the antarctic circle (at approximately 66.5 south latitude).

Correct Option: C

Latitude range with maximum species diversity is

  1. $23.5^0 N -66.5 ^0 N $

  2. $23.5^0 S -66.5 ^0 S $

  3. $23.5^0 N -23.5 ^0 S $

  4. $66.5^0 N -66.5 ^0 S $

Show answer
Correct Option: C
Explanation:
  • Latitudinal gradients of biodiversity are biogeographic patterns that quantify the ways in which taxonomic, phylogenetic, functional, genetic, or phenetic biodiversity change with the latitudinal position on the surface of the earth.
  • Species richness, or biodiversity, increases from the poles to the tropics. So the latitude range with maximum species diversity is the equator region, which is option C.

Rate of photosynthesis is maximum at

zoology biodiversity and conservation hotspots and methods of conservation biodiversity: conservation conservation of biodiversity basis of classification in animals basis of the classification of animals criteria for animal classification five kingdoms of living organisms biodiversity and need of classification biodiversity and classification

  1. Equator

  2. Tropic of Cancer

  3. Tropic of Capricorn

  4. Arctic circle

Show answer
Correct Option: A
Explanation:

The rate of photosynthesis would be maximum at the equator because the the rate of photosynthesis depends on the light intensity. Maximum intensity of light occurs at the equator, and gradually decreases with increasing distance from the equator to the south and north poles. So the correct answer is 'Equator'.
