Small fish gets stuck near the bottom of a shark and derive its nutrition from it. This kind of association is called as:

Read the given statements about lichens and select the incorrect ones. (i) They represent an example of commensallism. (ii) Algal partner obtains water and mineral salts from the fungus and the fungal partner obtains food prepared by the aiga. (iii) These do not grow in polluted areas. (iv) The mycobiont is usually an Ascomycetes or a Basididiomycetes. (v) The phycobiont is mostly a green alga or a cyanobacterium. (vi) These constitute the pioneer community in case of hydrosere.

Consumption of which one of the following foods can prevent the kind of blindness associated with vitamin 'A' deficiency ?

Asseration : In lichens, mycobiont and phycobiont are symbiotically associated in which algae is predominant and fungi is a subordinate partner. Reason : The fungus provides food and alga protects the fungus from unfavourable conditions.

Read the given statements and select the correct option. Statement 1: Herbivours are also called as first order consumers. Statement 2: Herbivores obtain their food directly from plants.

In an open ocean, the biomass of primary producers (microscopic algae) is often lower than the biomass of higher trophic levels (zooplanktons and fish), as illustrated below by an inverted pyramid of biomass. How can there be enough food in an open ocean to support the higher trophic levels?

Read the given statements. (i) Outer exine is made up of sporopollenin. (ii) Inner intine is pecto-cellulosic in nature (iii) Generative cell is bigger and contains abundant food reserve (iv) Vegetative cell is small and floats in the cytoplasm of the generative cell. Which of the given statements are not true regarding structure of pollen grain?

Select the correct term for the following definitions (I,ii,iii,iv). (i) The taxon is liable to become extinct if not allowed to realise its full biotic potential by providing protection from exotic species/human exploitation/habitat deterioration/depletion of food. (ii) The taxon has been completely eliminated or died out from earth. e.g Dodo (iii) The taxon is facing a high risk of extinction in the wild in the near future due to decreasein its habitat, excessive predation or poaching. (iv) They are species with naturally small populations, either localised or thinly scattered, which are always at risk from pests/pathogens/predators/exotic species.
