Assertion: In a terrestrial ecosystem, detritus food chain is the major conduit for energy flow.
Reason: Solar energy is the direct source for energy supply in a detritus food chain.
If both assertion and reason are true and reason is the correct explanation of assertion.
If both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of assertion.
If assertion is true but reason is false.
If both assertion and reason are false
C.
If assertion is true but reason is false.
There are two types of food chains: grazing food chain and detritus food chain.
Detritus food chains are those which start from the dead bodies of animals or fallen leaves etc.
In terrestrial ecosystems, detritus food chain is the major conduit of energy flow, while in aquatic ecosystems, grazing food chain is the major conduit of energy flow. As the detritus food chains depend upon the dead organic matter hence, these are not directly dependent upon solar energy.
Assertion: A network of food chains existing together in an ecosystem is known as a food web.
Reason: An animal like kite cannot be a part of a food web
If both assertion and reason are true and reason is the correct explanation of assertion
If both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of assertion
If assertion is true but reason is false
If both assertion and reason are false.
Assertion: The plant biomass which serves as the food of herbivores and decomposers is said to result from the gross primary productivity.
Reason: Gross primary productivity is the rate of net production of organic material (biomass).

If both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of assertion
If assertion is true but reason is false
If both assertion and reason are false
Which one of the following correctly represents an organism and its ecological niche?
Vallisneria and pond
Desert locust (Scistocerca) and desert
Plant lice (aphids) and leaf
Vultures and dense forest
The bacteria which attack dead animals are
first link of the food chain and are known as primary producers
second link of the food chain and are herbivorous
third link of the food chain and are tertiary consumers
the end of food chain and are decomposers.
Most animals that live in deep oceanic waters are
tertiary consumers
detritivores
primary consumers
secondary consumers
Assertion : Secondary succession takes place in recently denuded area.
Reason : It is caused due to baring of an area.
