A unit of land delimited by natural boundary and having patches of different biotic communities is known as

  1. Ecosystem

  2. Landscape

  3. Biome

  4. Both B and C


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

An ecosystem is defined as a part of the biosphere which consists of many biological communities. A biome is a much larger unit in the heirarchy where many ecosystems are found. 
A landscape is a patch that consists of different biotic communities and it does not have a fixed natural boundary So the correct answer is a 'Landscape'. 

Plant species with wide range of distribution evolves into local populations called 

  1. Ecosystem

  2. Population

  3. Ecotype

  4. Ephemeral

  5. Biome


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

An ecotype is a population (or subspecies or race) that is adapted to local environmental conditions. The implication is that those individuals which were best adapted to the prevailing conditions left the most offspring. Moreover, those more successful individuals carry genes that are partly responsible for their success in that environment. Thus, the adaptations of these ecotypes are based on the interactions of their own special sets of genes with their own environment.


So, the correct answer is 'Ecotype'.

Agroecosystem is unstable because of

  1. Lack of variety

  2. Lack of biological control

  3. Both A and B

  4. Being man made


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Agroecosystem is also called as ecosystem on agricultural land. It is created by man. It includes biotic and nonbiotic components involved in that unit and their interactions.  It is unstable because of lack of variety and lack of biological control. It also lacks self-control.

Thus, the correct answer is 'Both A and B.'

Genotypically adapted local population is called

  1. Ecotype

  2. Ecad

  3. Biotype

  4. Ecocline


Correct Option: A

Plant species having a wide range of genetic distribution evolve into local population are known as

  1. Ecotype

  2. Population

  3. Ecosystem

  4. Biome


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

An ecotype is known as the population of a species that survives as a distinct group through environmental selection and isolation and that is comparable with certain species.

So, the correct option is 'Ecotype'.

Great Barrier Reef along east coast of Australia is a

  1. Population

  2. Community

  3. Biome

  4. Ecosystem


Correct Option: D
Explanation:
Great Barrier Reef along east coast of Australia is categorized as an ecosystem. An ecosystem is made up biotic and abiotic components. Biotic components include plants, animals, microorganisms. Abiotic components include air, water, temperature, soil. Population is the number of organisms of same species in an area. Community is the group of populations of different species in an area. Biome is a community of plants and animals having common characteristics sharing a common place.
Thus, the correct answer is 'Ecosystem.'

Ari ecosystem is not a

  1. Open system

  2. Closed system

  3. Variable system

  4. None of the above


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

An open system is defined as a system wherein there is free exchange of both matter and energy with the surroundings. The system has interaction with the external environment. A close system is defined as a system where there is no exchange of either matter or energy with the surroundings. All the ecosystems on Earth are called as open systems. Earth is an open system for energy. 

Thus, the correct answer is 'Closed system.'

Edge effect is observed in case of 

  1. Ecotone

  2. Ecozone

  3. Biotype

  4. Ecosphere


Correct Option: A
Explanation:
The edge effect is caused by a distinct edge or boundary between two ecosystems such as between forrest and grasslands or land and water. These areas where the edge effect is observed are called ecotones. Ecotones are where increased biodiversity is observed.

So, the correct answer is 'A'.

Major communities of the world are

  1. Scrubs, jungles and gardens

  2. Ocean, fresh water and forest communities

  3. Grassland and desert communities

  4. Both B and C


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

The living world is made up of different communities living in it. Some of these communities are the communities living in oceans, fresh water and forest communities, communities living in grasslands and deserts. These communities have different individuals belonging to them and have certain different characteristics. So, option D is the correct answer.

Swamps differ from marshes in having

  1. Grasses

  2. Floating leaved plants

  3. Trees and shrubs

  4. Both A and B


Correct Option: C
Explanation:
Swamps and marshes differ only in the manner of their vegetation pattern.
So, the correct answer is 'trees and shrubs'
