Study the following statements regarding food chains and select the correct ones.
(i) Removal of $80\%$ tigers from an area resulted in greatly increased growth of vegetation.
(ii) Removal of most of the carnivores resulted in an increased population of deers.
(iii) The length of food chains is generally limited to $3-4$ trophic levels due to energy loss.
(iv) The length of food chains may vary from $2$ to $8$ trophic levels.

  1. (i) and (ii)

  2. (ii) and (iii)

  3. (i) and (iii)

  4. (iii) and (iv)


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

If carnivores, which feed on deer are removed, then the deer population will flourish. Removal of 80% of tigers from an area will cause an increase in the population of herbivores, which would further feed on more vegetation thus, decreasing its growth. The length of the food chain is limited to 3−4 trophic levels as only 10% of energy is transferred to the next trophic level. Hence after 3−4 trophic levels, there is very little or no energy left to sustain more trophic levels.

So, the correct answer is '(ii) and (iii)'.

The key elements that determine differences in environmental conditions of different habitats include 

  1. Temperature

  2. Light

  3. Soil

  4. All of these


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Environment is the sum of all boo tic (living) and a biotin (non-living) factors that surround and practically influence the organism. All components are Inter-linked and inter-dependent. Biotin factors include different organism. Abiotic factors are non-living factors survival, form, function, behavior and reproduction of organism. There are many abiotic factors. The four major abiotic factors are temperature, water, light and soil. 

So, the correct answer is 'All of the above'.

Which of the following type of plants has reduced crown?

  1. Shrubs

  2. Cactus

  3. Mango tree

  4. None of the above


Correct Option: B

Which of the following statements about the forest is/are incorrect? 


i. Forest provides recreational opportunities.
ii. Forest helps in economic development.
iii. Forest reduces soil erosion.

  1. (I) and (II) only

  2. (II) and (III) only

  3. (III) only

  4. None of these


Correct Option: A
Explanation:
Forest is a large area dominated by trees. Many animals need forest to live and survive. They are very important to prevent soil erosion and holding water in surface of the earth. 
So the correct answer is '(I) and (II) only'.

Major consumer of wood from forest is __________

  1. Thermal Power Plant

  2. Paper Industry

  3. Chemistry Industry

  4. none


Correct Option: B

In all the forests of our state these trees are found.

  1. Bamboo

  2. Addaku

  3. Tangedu

  4. Tamarind


Correct Option: A

If forest disappear

  1. The amount of ${ CO } _{ 2 }$ in air decrease

  2. The amount of ${ O } _{ 2 }$ in air will increases

  3. The amount of ${ CO } _{ 2 }$ in air increases

  4. The Amount of nitrogen in air will increase


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

If forest disappears or the deforestation continues to exist then the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere will increase. This is because the Green plants capable of fixing atmospheric carbon dioxide into Organic material such as glucose by the action of photosynthesis are no longer available. 

Thus, increasing the carbon dioxide level in the air. 
So, the correct option is 'The amount of carbon dioxide in the air increases'.
