Ecology describes
| 1. | Interactions between living organisms only |
| 2. | Interactions between members of a single species only |
| 3. | Interactions of organisms among themselves as well as with their surrounding abiotic components |
| 4. | Intraspecific competitions only |
Father of Indian ecology is
| 1. | H. Reiter | 2. | G. S. Puri |
| 3. | Ramdeo Misra | 4. | Hutchinson |
Ecological niche is:(NCERT Exemplar)
| 1. | The surface area of the ocean |
| 2. | An ecologically adapted zone |
| 3. | The physical position and functional role of a species within the community |
| 4. | Formed of all plants and animals living at the bottom of a lake |
Ecology is basically concerned with four levels of biological organisation. Which one of the following is the correct representation?
| 1. | PopulationEcosystemBiomeLandscape |
| 2. | CommunitiesPopulationEcosystemBiome |
| 3. | OrganismsPopulationCommunitiesBiome |
| 4. | SpeciesEcosystemCommunitiesBiome |
Which is the correct order of ecological hierarchy?
(1) Biome Populations Community Organism
(2) Organism Biome Population Community
(3) Population Community Biome Organism
(4) Organism Population Community Biome
Members of a population
| 1. | Can interbreed and produce fertile offsprings |
| 2. | Share a common gene pool |
| 3. | Share or competitor for similar resources |
| 4. | More than one option is correct |
| 1. | All the biological factors in the organism environment |
| 2. | The physical space where an organism live |
| 3. | The range of temperature that the organism needs to live |
| 4. | The functional role played by the organism where it lives |
| 1. | Total number always provides an accurate measure of population density, regardless of species differences in size and ecological roles. |
| 2. | In cases where individuals vary greatly in size or impact, measuring population density based on percent cover or biomass is more meaningful than simple numerical count. |
| 3. | Population density can only be determined using total number, and alternate measures like biomass or percent cover do not provide ecological insights. |
| 4. | Total number is an effective measure only in large populations; for small populations, alternative measures are irrelevant. |
| 1. | natality; demography |
| 2. | exploitation competition; interference competition |
| 3. | mortality; natality |
| 4. | natality; mortality |
