Peepal is a producer because it is a tree and prepares its own food by the process of photosynthesis.

Green plants prepare their own food, hence they are called as
  • a)
    Decomposers
  • b)
    Autotrophs
  • c)
    Parasites
  • d)
    Heterotrophs
Correct answer is option 'B'. Can you explain this answer?

Autotrophs:
Green plants are considered autotrophs because they have the ability to produce their own food through the process of photosynthesis. This means they can convert light energy from the sun into chemical energy in the form of glucose.

Photosynthesis:
During photosynthesis, green plants use carbon dioxide, water, and sunlight to create glucose and oxygen. The chlorophyll present in their leaves helps in capturing sunlight, which is then used to convert carbon dioxide and water into glucose.

Importance:
Being autotrophs is crucial for the survival of green plants as they are able to sustain themselves without relying on other organisms for their food. This ability to produce their own food is what sets them apart from heterotrophs, which depend on other organisms for nutrition.

Role in Ecosystem:
Autotrophs, like green plants, play a vital role in the ecosystem by serving as the primary producers. They form the base of the food chain, providing energy to other organisms in the ecosystem. Without autotrophs, the entire ecosystem would collapse as there would be no source of food for other organisms.
In conclusion, green plants are called autotrophs because they have the unique ability to produce their own food through photosynthesis. This ability not only sustains the plants themselves but also plays a crucial role in maintaining the balance of the ecosystem.

Which of the following pairs consists of a herbivore and a carnivore?
  • a)
    Goat and deer
  • b)
    Deer and crocodile
  • c)
    Bear and tiger
  • d)
    Tiger and eagle
Correct answer is option 'B'. Can you explain this answer?

Jyoti Kaur answered
Herbivores are animals that feed only on plants, while carnivores are animals that feed only on other animals. Let's analyze each pair and determine if they consist of a herbivore and a carnivore.

a) Goat and deer
- Both goats and deer are herbivores. They primarily feed on vegetation such as grass, leaves, and fruits. Therefore, this pair does not consist of a herbivore and a carnivore.

b) Deer and crocodile
- Deer is a herbivore, as mentioned earlier. It feeds on plants and vegetation.
- Crocodile, on the other hand, is a carnivore. It preys on other animals, including fish, birds, and mammals.
Therefore, this pair consists of a herbivore (deer) and a carnivore (crocodile).

c) Bear and tiger
- Bears are omnivores, which means they eat both plants and animals. While they mainly feed on vegetation such as berries, nuts, and grass, they can also consume meat.
- Tigers are carnivores. They primarily hunt and feed on other animals.
Although bears can occasionally consume meat, they are not classified as strict carnivores like tigers. Therefore, this pair does not consist of a herbivore and a carnivore.

d) Tiger and eagle
- Tigers, as mentioned earlier, are carnivores. They are apex predators and solely rely on other animals for their nutrition.
- Eagles are also carnivores. They predominantly feed on small mammals, birds, and fish.
This pair consists of two carnivores (tiger and eagle), and not a herbivore and a carnivore.

In conclusion, the correct pair consisting of a herbivore and a carnivore is option B, which includes a deer (herbivore) and a crocodile (carnivore).
