Most animals that live in deep oceanic waters are
tertiary consumers
detritivores
primary consumers
secondary consumers
B.
detritivores
Benthos is the community of organisms which live on, in, or near the sea bed, also known as the benthic zone. As no light is available in this zone of sea, the energy source for deep benthic ecosystem is often organic matter from higher water column which drifts down to the depths. This dead and decaying matter sustains the benthic organisms, and therefore, most organisms in benthic zone i.e., in deep oceanic waters, are scavengers or detritivores.
Assertion: In a terrestrial ecosystem, detritus food chain is the major conduit for energy flow.
Reason: Solar energy is the direct source for energy supply in a detritus food chain.
If both assertion and reason are true and reason is the correct explanation of assertion.
If both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of assertion.
If assertion is true but reason is false.
If both assertion and reason are false
Assertion : Secondary succession takes place in recently denuded area.
Reason : It is caused due to baring of an area.
If both assertion and reason are true and reason is the correct explanation of assertion
If both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of assertion
If assertion is true but reason is false
If both assertion and reason are false
The bacteria which attack dead animals are
first link of the food chain and are known as primary producers
second link of the food chain and are herbivorous
third link of the food chain and are tertiary consumers
the end of food chain and are decomposers.
