  1. Food chain

  2. Food web

  3. Ecological pyramids

  4. Energy cycle

Show answer
Correct Option: C
Explanation:
An ecological pyramid (also trophic pyramid, eltonian pyramid, energy pyramid, or sometimes food pyramid) is a graphical representation designed to show the biomass or bio productivity at each trophic level in a given ecosystem. Biomass pyramids show how much biomass (the amount of living or organic matter present in an organism) is present in the organisms at each trophic level, while productivity pyramids show the procreation or turnover in biomass. There is also pyramid of numbers which represent the number of organisms in each trophic level. They may be upright (e.g. Grassland ecosystem), inverted (parasitic ecosystem) or dumbbell shaped (forest ecosystem). Energy pyramids begin with producers on the bottom (such as plants) and proceed through the various trophic levels (such as herbivores that eat plants, then carnivores that eat flesh, then omnivores that eat both plants and flesh, and so on). The highest level is the top of the food chain.
So the correct option is 'ecological pyramid'.

Pyramid of bio mass and number in a pond ecosystem ake-

  1. inverted and upright

  2. inverted and irregular

  3. both upright

  4. both unverted

Show answer
Correct Option: A
Explanation:

It is the graphical representation which shows the biomass or bio productivity in an eco system at each tropical level.

Therefore the right answer is option "A, inverted and upright".

The concept of ecological pyramids was proposed by

  1. Elton

  2. Odum

  3. Darwin

  4. Clement

Show answer
Correct Option: A
Explanation:

A (elton) is the correct answer.

Elton proposed the concept of ecological pyramids Ecological pyramid is a graphical representation that shows the biomass at each trophic level. Odum is the father of modern ecology. Clements proposed the theory of plant succession. darwin proposed the theory of biological evolution by natural selection.

When peacock eats snakes which eats insects thriving on green plants, the peacock is

  1. A primary consumer

  2. A primary decomposer

  3. Final decomposer

  4. The apex of food pyramid

Show answer
Correct Option: D
Explanation:

In the given food chain peacock is the ultimate consumer. It will be located at the apex of the food pyramid. 

Green plants will be producers. 
Insects feeding on green plants will be herbivores or primary consumers. Snakes will be primary carnivores or secondary consumers and peacock will be a secondary carnivore or a tertiary consumer. Thus, the correct answer is option D.

Which one of the following is not used for construction of ecological pyramids?

evs digestion of food diseases caused by changes in lifestyle nutrition deficiency diseases study of ecological pyramids

  1. Number of individuals

  2. Rate of energy flow

  3. Fresh weight

  4. Dry weight

Show answer
Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Fresh weight of organisms and their body parts comprises of water content along with the actual dry weight. The fresh weight is deviating w.r.t metabolism and availability in the same organism or different organisms taken under observation. This makes the standard comparison difficult. Hence, fresh weight is not used for the construction of the ecological pyramid.

So, the correct option is 'Fresh weight'.
