Identify the correct match . 1. Stratification : Vertical distribution of different species occupying different levels . 2. Secondary productivity : Amount of biomass or organic matter produced per unit area over a time period by plant during photosynthesis . 3. Primary productivity : Rate of formation of new organic matter by consumers . 4 Decomposition : Break down complex organic matter into inorganic substances like carbon dioxide , water and nutrients

The surface of water in a lake appears green due to a layer of tiny free-floating organisms X on its surface. The lake water also contains organisms like water beetle, fish and tadpole. The sun shines over the lake water and provides energy for the functioning of this lake ecosystem. (a) What could organisms X be ? (b) Write a food chain comprising of all the four organisms metioned. (c) What is the general name of the food chains like the one written above ? (d) Name (i) secondary consumer (ii) producer (iii) tertiary consumer, and (iv) primary consumer, in the above food chain. (e) If the tertiary consumer gets 0.2 J of energy from the secondary consumer, then how much energy was radiated by the sun to the producer ?

A man stands holding a weight in each hand and with his arms outstretched on a frictionless platform which is rotating at a speed of 1 revolution per sec. In ths position the total rotational intertia of the man, the weights and the platform is 6kgm^(2) . If by drawing in his arms, the man decreases the rotational inertia of the system by 2kg m^(2) , calcualte the resulting speed of the platform and the increase in kinetic energy. How do you account for the increase of kinetic energy?

The moment of inertia of the body about an axis is 1.2 kg m^(2) . Initially the body is at rest. In order to produce a rotational kinetic energy of 1500J, an angualr acceleration of 25 rad/s^(2) must be applied about the axis for the duration of
