(ii) Removal of most of the carnivores resulted in an increased population of deers.
(iii) The length of food chains is generally limited to $3-4$ trophic levels due to energy loss.

evs forests and life forest - the dwelling place of animals forest and its importance introduction to forests conservation of forest and wildlife wildlife

  1. (i) and (ii)

  2. (ii) and (iii)

  3. (i) and (iii)

  4. (iii) and (iv)

Show answer
Correct Option: B
Explanation:

If carnivores, which feed on deer are removed, then the deer population will flourish. Removal of 80% of tigers from an area will cause an increase in the population of herbivores, which would further feed on more vegetation thus, decreasing its growth. The length of the food chain is limited to 3−4 trophic levels as only 10% of energy is transferred to the next trophic level. Hence after 3−4 trophic levels, there is very little or no energy left to sustain more trophic levels.

So, the correct answer is '(ii) and (iii)'.

The key elements that determine differences in environmental conditions of different habitats include

  1. Temperature

  2. Light

  3. Soil

  4. All of these

Show answer
Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Environment is the sum of all boo tic (living) and a biotin (non-living) factors that surround and practically influence the organism. All components are Inter-linked and inter-dependent. Biotin factors include different organism. Abiotic factors are non-living factors survival, form, function, behavior and reproduction of organism. There are many abiotic factors. The four major abiotic factors are temperature, water, light and soil. 

So, the correct answer is 'All of the above'.

  1. (I) and (II) only

  2. (II) and (III) only

  3. (III) only

  4. None of these

Show answer
Correct Option: A
Explanation:

If forest disappear

evs forests and life forest - the dwelling place of animals forest and its importance introduction to forests conservation of forest and wildlife wildlife

  1. The amount of ${ CO } _{ 2 }$ in air decrease

  2. The amount of ${ O } _{ 2 }$ in air will increases

  3. The amount of ${ CO } _{ 2 }$ in air increases

  4. The Amount of nitrogen in air will increase

Show answer
Correct Option: C
Explanation:

If forest disappears or the deforestation continues to exist then the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere will increase. This is because the Green plants capable of fixing atmospheric carbon dioxide into Organic material such as glucose by the action of photosynthesis are no longer available. 

Thus, increasing the carbon dioxide level in the air. 
So, the correct option is 'The amount of carbon dioxide in the air increases'.

Which of the following are green lungs?

evs forests and life forest - the dwelling place of animals forest and its importance introduction to forests conservation of forest and wildlife wildlife

  1. Green coloured lungs

  2. Lungs with green alga

  3. Lungs in Green coloured animals

  4. Forests

Show answer
Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Forest is called as the green lung because they fix the carbon dioxide in the presence of sunlight and convert them into glucose by the process of photosynthesis. The reaction of carbon dioxide with water during this process releases oxygen as byproduct and glucose is formed. Thus forest replenishes oxygen in turn of carbon dioxide. Thus, the correct answer is option D.
