organotrophs
Decomposers are organotrophs, ie, they feed on dead bodies of organisms and organic wates of living organism.
Producers are photosynthetic or autotrophic plants which are able to synthesize organic food from inorganic raw materials with the help of solar radiations.
Heterotrophs are also known as organotrophs.
What is the main cause for the extinction of some species in tropical forest?
Deforestation
Afforestation
Pollution
Soil erosion
Biological concept of species is mainly based on
reproductive isolation
morphological features only
methods of reproduction only
morphology and methods of reproduction
Species can be identified on the basis of
interbreed
species diversity
reproductive isolation
None of the above

Animals have the innate ability to escape from predation. Examples for the same are given below. Select the incorrect example
enlargement of body size by swallowing air in puffer fish
melanism in moths
poison fangs in snakes
colour change in chameleon
The plant that is characteristics component of mangrove vegetation
Rhizophora mangel
Ficus religiosa
Mangifera indica
Prosopis specigera
The species, which is going to become extinct due to lack of proper care would be called
rare
endangered
vulnerable
extinct
One of the following statements is incorrect with reference to biodiversity. Identify it.
The areas with very few plant and animal species (low species richness) with no threatened species are called biodiversity hotspots.
Biodiversity increases from higher altitudes to lower altitudes
Biodiversity decreases from the equator to polar regions
Depletion in genetic diversity of crop plants is mainly due to the introduction of better varieties with high yield, disease resistance, etc.
