| (d) Primary consumer | (iv)Bacteria |
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 1
The correct answer is Option (1)- (a)-iii , (b)- iv, (c)- i, (d)-ii
| Column I | Column II |
| (a) Food web | (iii) Interconnections of food chains |
| (b) Decomposers | (iv)Bacteria |
| (c) Primary producer | (i) Phytoplankton |
| (d) Primary consumer | (ii) Grasshopper |
(a) Food web (iii) Interconnections of food chains
A food web is a complex network of interconnected food chains in an ecosystem, illustrating how various organisms are linked through feeding relationships.
(b) Decomposers (iv) Bacteria
Decomposers, such as bacteria, break down dead organic material and waste, recycling nutrients back into the ecosystem.
(c) Primary producer (i) Phytoplankton
Primary producers, like phytoplankton, are organisms that produce their own food through photosynthesis, forming the base of the food chain.
(d) Primary consumer (ii) Grasshopper
Primary consumers, such as grasshoppers, are herbivores that feed directly on primary producers.
