Assertion : The pyramid of biomass in sea is generally inverted. Reason : Number of phytoplanktons is more than number of fishes.
1 Both Assertion and Reason are correct and Reason is the correct explanation of the Assertion.
2 Both Assertion and Reason are correct but Reason is not the correct explanation of the Assertion.
3 Assertion is correct but Reason is incorrect.
4 Both Assertion and Reason are incorrect.
Explanation:
The pyramid of biomass in sea is generally inverted because biomass of fishes far exceeds that of phytoplankton.

Identify the incorrect statement from the following.
1 Pyramid of energy is mostly upright, but sometimes it may be inverted.
2 Pyramids of number and biomass may be either upright or inverted.
3 Pyramid of biomass in sea is generally inverted as the biomass of fish far exceeds that of phytoplanktons.
4 Food chains are generally short with few trophic levels as only \(10 \%\) of the energy is transferred to each trophic level from the lower trophic level
Explanation:
Pyramid of energy is a graphical representation of amount of energy accumulated per unit area in different trophic levels. It is observed that the pyramids of energy are never inverted. Such a property of the pyramids of energy is due to the first law of thermodynamics or the law of conservation of energy, which states that energy can neither be created nor destroyed.

Pyramid of biomass in pond ecosystem is
1 Inverted
2 Sometimes upright
3 Always upright
4 Both (1) and (2)
Explanation:
In pond ecosystem, the biomass of diatoms and Phytoplanktons are negligible compared with that of the crustaceans and small herbivores fishes that feed on producers. The biomass of carnivores fishes living on small fishes is still greater. Therefore the pyramid is inverted.

Which of the following statements regarding food chain is false?
1 Primary consumers belong to the first trophic level
2 The detritus food chain begins with dead organic matter.
3 In terrestrial ecosystems, a large dfraction of energy flows through detritus food chain.
4 In an aquatic ecosystem, grazing food chain is the major conduit for energy flow.
Explanation:
Primary consumer belongs to second trophic level (T2)
