It decrease initially for short time and then return to original value
It increases

The increased atmospheric CO2 concentration can have a direct effect on the growth. This effect that increases CO2 has on the closure of stomata small openings in leaf surface through which CO2 is absorbed and through which water vapour is released by transpiration. This tends to reduce the water requirements of plant by reducing the transpiration.
High Biological Oxygen demand in water body indicates
Chemical pollution
Organic pollutant
High photoautotroph
Pressure of heterotrophs
Earth is active planet and have phenomenon like volcano, earthquake and continental drift. The major source for continental drift is:
Moon gravity
Earth gravity
Radioactivity in core of earth
Energy from sun
Smog is due to
Air pollution derived from smoke and vehicles
More moisture in environment
Increase in CO2
Low temperature of earth surface
Which of the following is not a direct consequence of greenhouse effect?
Increase in sea level
Rainfall
Tsunami
Global warming
The graph represents the depth profile of temperature in the open ocean; in which region this is likely to be prevalent?
Topical region
Equatorial region
Polar region
Sub-tropical region
Which of the following is major radioactive indoor air pollutant in home air conditioner?
Cs
U
Sr
Rn
A much greater proportion of energy fixed by autotrophs is transferred to the herbivore level in the open ocean ecosystem than in forest ecosystem because
Aquatic autotrophs are small
Aquatic herbivores are more efficient feeders
Terrestrial autotrophs are less efficient feeders
Terrestrial autotrophs have more indigestible tissues
