    (a) They are not durable
    (b) They are non-biodegradable
    (c) They are made of toxic materals
    (d) They react with the atmospheric gases

    2. The process of accumulation of harmful chemical substances like pesticides, in the body of living organisms
    at each trophic level of a food chain is known as:
    (a) Biological magnification
    (b) Biological accumulation
    (c) Chemical magnification
    (d) Chemical accumulation

    3. Which of the following may be a conclusion of the excessive exposure of humans to sun’s ultraviolet rays?
    i. Peptic ulcers
    ii. Eye disease like cataract
    iii. Damage to lungs
    iv. Skin cancer
    (a) (i) and (iv)
    (b) (ii), (iii) and (iv)
    (c) (ii) and (iv)
    (d) Only (iv)

    4. Which of the following radiations is responsible for the conversion of atmospheric oxygen to ozone?
    (a) Gamma radiations
    (b) Cosmic radiations
    (c) Infrared radiations
    (d) Ultraviolet radiations

    5. The substance which is chiefly responsible for the depletion of ozone layer is:
    (a) CFCs
    (b) CH4
    (c) DDT
    (d) O3

    6. What will happen if deer is missing in the food chain given below?
    Grass → Deer → Tiger
    (a) The population of tiger increases
    (b) The population of grass decreases
    (c) Tiger will start eating grass
    (d) The population of tiger decreases and the population of grass increases

    B. Trophic level is the relative position of an entity in the food chain. It forms the feeding positions in a food
    web or chain. All food webs and chains have at least two or three trophic levels. An ecological pyramid depicts
    how energy and biomass decrease from lower to higher trophic levels.
    1. In the following food chain, plants provide 500 J of energy to rats. How much energy will be
    available to hawks from snakes?
    Plants → Rats → Snakes → Hawks
    2. In a food chain of frog, grass, insect and snake, assign trophic level to frog.
    3. List two reasons to show that the existence of decomposers is essential in an ecosystem.
    4. (a) Create a food chain of the following organisms.
    Insect, Hawk, Grass, Snake, Frog
    (b) Name the organism at the third trophic level of the created food chain.
    (c) Which organism of this food chain will have the highest concentration of non- biodegradable
    chemicals?
    (d) Name the phenomenon associated with it.
    (e) If 10,000 Joules of energy is available to frogs, how much energy will be available to snakes in
    this food chain?
