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 false
Net primary productivity is the available biomass for the consumption to heterotrophs (herbivores and decomposers). The rate of biomass production is called productivity. It has two aspects, gross primary productivity and net primary productivity. The rate of total production of organic matter during photosynthesis is known as gross primary productivity. Its considerable amount is utilised by plants in respiration. The organic matter synthesised by plants (GPP) minus the rate of respiration and other loss represents the net primary productivity
Assertion : Secondary succession takes place in recently denuded area.
Reason : It is caused due to baring of an area.

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

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: 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.
