1. | Zooplankton consume phytoplankton at a faster rate than their reproduction. |
2. | Phytoplankton biomass accumulates rapidly, creating a temporary inversion. |
3. | Energy transfer efficiency is higher in aquatic ecosystems than terrestrial ones. |
4. | The turnover rate of phytoplankton is much faster than zooplankton. |
Given below is an imaginary pyramid of numbers. What could be one of the possibilities about certain organisms at some of the different levels?
1. | Level PC is insects and level SC is small insectivorous birds |
2. | Level PP is phytoplanktons in the sea and Whale on top-level TC |
3. | Level PP is pipal trees and the level SC is sheep |
4. | Level PC is rats and level SC is cats |
The upright pyramid of number is absent in:
1. Pond
2. Forest
3. Lake
4. Grassland
