Accumulation of non-biodegradable pesticides in the food chain in increasing amount at each higher trophic level is known as :(a) eutrophication (b) pollution (c) biomagnification (d) accumulation

Academic Biology NCERT Class 10

Correct answer: (c) biomagnification

Explanation: The accumulation of non-biodegradable pesticides in the food chain in an increasing amount at each higher trophic level is known as biomagnification.

Which of the following limits the number of trophic levels in a food chain?(a) insufficient food supply from producer level(b) decrease in energy at higher trophic levels(c) increase in the number of organisms at higher trophic levels(d) accumulation of harmful chemicals at higher trophic levels
A food chain consists of fish, larvae, phytoplankton, and birds. The level of pesticides in water in which the fish, larvae, and phytoplanktons live is quite high.(a) In which organisms the pesticides enter from the polluted water? What is this level of organisms known as?(b) Which organism will have the maximum amount of pesticides accumulated through the food chain? What is this process known as?(c) Write the food chain comprising all the organisms mentioned above.(d) Which other organism you could write in place of bird in the above food chain?
Organisms of a higher trophic level which feed on several types of organisms belonging to a number of lower trophic levels constitute the :(a) ecosystem (b) food web (c) ecological pyramid b> (d) food chain
In a food chain, the third trophic level is always occupied by :(a) carnivores (b) herbivores (c) decomposers (d) producers
What is meant by trophic level in a food chain? Construct a terrestrial food chain with four trophic levels. The energy flow in a food chain is always unidirectional. Why?
What percentage of energy available at the producer level is transferred at successive trophic levels in a food chain?
Name the process in which a harmful chemical enters the food chain and gets concentrated at each trophic level.
Construct A Terrestrial Food Chain Comprising Four Trophic Levels. (b) What Will Happen If We Kill All the Organisms in One Trophic Level? (c) Calculate The Amount of Energy Available to The Organisms at The Fourth Trophic Level If the Energy Available to The Organisms at The Second Trophic Level Is 2000 J.
(a) Define trophic level. Draw the food chain with four trophic levels.(b) What will happen if we kill all the organisms in one trophic level?
State whether the following statement is true or false :Only 10 per cent of the light energy given by the sun is available for transfer at each higher trophic level in a food chain.
In the food chain given below, if the amount of energy available at fourth trophic level is 5 kJ, what was the energy available at the producer level?Grass → Grasshopper → Frog → Snake → Hawk(a) 500 kJ (b) 50 kJ (c) 5000 kJ (d) 5 kJ
The level of air pollution is higher at a busy traffic intersection. Why?
A forest ecosystem having a lot of green plants has some foxes, lions and rabbits in it.(a) Write a food chain comprising all the four organisms mentioned above.(b) Name (i) one herbivore, and (ii) two carnivores, in this food chain.(c) Name the link which is a predator as well as a prey.(d) Name (i) second trophic level, and (ii) third trophic level.(e) Which link of this food chain can feed on second trophic level as well as third trophic level, independently?(f) If the sun provides 1000 J of energy to the plants, then how much energy will be transferred to fox through the food chain.
In a food chain of frog, grass, insect, and snake, assign trophic level to frog.
