The activities of man had adverse effects on all forms of living organisms in the biosphere.
Unlimited exploitation of nature by man disturbed the delicate ecological balance between the living and nonliving components of the biosphere. The unfavourable conditions created by man himself threatened the survival not only of him but also of the entire living organisms on the mother earth.

Q. Consider the following food chain in the same lake. Aquatic plant → Small fish → Big fish → Birds Which of the above organisms is likely to show minimum amount of pesticide concentration in them after considerable time?
Food chains and the energy flow within an ecosystem provide an important understanding of contingencies and mutual dependencies of organisms. The given flow chart depicts the energy flow within some members of a grassland ecosystem. The grass in the below ecosystem transducer 120,000 J of sunlight and fixes it into 12,000 J of energy. It is established that 90% of the energy of one trophic level is not passed to the next trophic level. Further assume that the energy transferred from one trophic level to the next is equally shared among the different organisms at that trophic level.
Based on the information given and your knowledge, answer the of the questions:
Q. How many food chains are present in the food web depicted above?

Read the following passage given below and answer the questions:
A water body characterized by nutrient rich water supports abundant growth of phytoplanktons and other water plants on its surface. Over time, the water body gets filled with a large number of such plants and the process is called Eutrophication. In such water bodies, dissolved oxygen content is nil or very less.
Q. Eutrophicated water usually looks turbid green in colour because of
