The logistic growth curve of animal population growth is more realistic than J shaped curve because:

1. Asexual mode of reproduction is rare in higher animals

2. Resources are finite and become limiting sooner or later.

3. Most animals are conformers rather than regulators

4. Abiotic factors affect animals more than plants

Very small animals are rarely found in polar region mainly because:

1. Smaller animals have a relatively slower heart rate

2. Smaller animals have a more surface area relative to their volume

3. Smaller animals are invariably herbivores

4. Smaller animals rely on diffusion for exchange of gases with the environment

I. Organisms living in oceans, lakes and rivers face water-related problems.
II. Euryhaline can tolerate a wide range of salinities
III. Stenohaline are restricted to a narrow range of salinities
IV. No fresh water animals cannot live for long in sea water but sea animals can live in fresh water for long time because of osmotic balance
V. The salt concentration is less than 5% in inland water, 30-35% in sea and >100% in some hypersaline lagoons.

(1) All are correct                     

(2) All are false

(3) Only IV is wrong
