  4. None of the above

Show answer
Correct Option: B
Explanation:
  • The physical and biological world where we live in - Environment/biosphere
  • Each level of food chain where transfer of energy takes place - Trophic level
  • The physical factors like temperature, rainfall, wind and soil of an ecosystem - Abiotic factors
  • Organisms which depend on the producers either directly or indirectly for food - Consumers/heterotrophs
Therefore, the correct answer is option B.

  1. True

  2. False

Show answer
Correct Option: A
Explanation:
An Ecological community is a naturally occurring group of native plants, animals and other organism that are interacting in a unique habitat
So, the correct option is 'True'


All plants, animals and other organisms that make up a distinct natural community in any climatic region is known as the

zoology meaning of life level of biological organization in animals introduction to tissues basics of ecology

  1. Biome

  2. Biounit

  3. Biomagnification

  4. Biological ecosystem

Show answer
Correct Option: A
Explanation:

A biome  is a community of plants and animals that have common characteristics for the environment they exist in. They can be found over a range of continents. Biomes are distinct biological communities that have formed in response to a shared physical climate. "Biome" is a broader term than "habitat"; any biome can comprise a variety of habitats. hile a biome can cover large areas, a microbiome is a mix of organisms that coexist in a defined space on a much smaller scale. For example, the human microbiome is the collection of bacteria, viruses, and other microorganisms that are present on or in a human body. A 'biota' is the total collection of organisms of a geographic region or a time period, from local geographic scales and instantaneous temporal scales all the way up to whole-planet and whole-time scale spatiotemporal scales. The biotas of the Earth make up the biosphere.

So the correct option is 'biome'.

Annual rainfall in grassland falls in the rage of

zoology meaning of life level of biological organization in animals introduction to tissues basics of ecology

  1. $40$ to $100$ cm

  2. $50$ to $90$ cm

  3. About $150$ cm

  4. More than $200$ cm

Show answer
Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Rainfall usually happens in tropical grasslands between late spring and early summer. Average rainfall a year in grasslands is 50 to 90 cm or 20-35 in. 

So the correct answer is '50 to 90 cm'.

To which of the following interactions both partners are adversely effected

zoology meaning of life level of biological organization in animals introduction to tissues basics of ecology

  1. competition

  2. predation

  3. parasitism

  4. mutation.

Show answer
Correct Option: A
Explanation:

In competition both partners are adversely affected as they compete for the same resources, in predation one partner is harmed other is benefited, in parasitism one partner is harmed other is benefited, mutation is not a interaction. So the correct option is "competition"

zoology meaning of life level of biological organization in animals introduction to tissues basics of ecology

  1. Synecology

  2. Autecology

  4. Edaphology

Show answer
Correct Option: C
Explanation:
Synecology is the branch of science which deals with the study of plants or animal groups or communities.
Autecology is the study of particular species of the living forms.
Cybernetics is the interdisciplinary study of the structure of complex systems. It is a science of automatic control system in any complex structure like living things and machines.
