- Q1What is the correct definition of the term Biosphere?All the communities in a given region and the physical environment in which they interact.A group of organisms of the same species living in the same area at the same time.All species living in the same area, close enough so that they have the potential to interact with one another.The sum total of all ecosystems on our planet.30s
- Q2What is the correct definition of the term Species?A group of organisms living in the same area at the same time.All individuals within a group of organisms that can interbreed and produce viable offspring.An ensemble of all the communities in a given region.A all organisms living in the same area.30s
- Q3What is the correct definition of the term Community?All populations of all species living in the same area, close enough so that they have the potential to interact with one another.All the communities in a given region and the physical environment in which they interact.The sum total of all ecosystems on our planet.A group of organisms of the same species living in the same area at the same time30s
- Q4What is the correct definition of the term Ecosystem?All individuals of a group of organisms that can interbreed and produce viable offspring.All the communities in a given region and the physical environment in which they interact.All populations of all species living in the same area, close enough so that they have the potential to interact with one another.Organisms of the same species living in the same area at the same time30s
- Q5What is the correct definition of the term Population?All populations of all species living in the same area.The sum total of all ecosystems on our planet.A group of organisms of the same species living in the same area at the same time.All the communities in a given region and the physical environment in which they interact.30s
- Q6The study of the interaction between an organism and its environment, and how this interaction affects its anatomy, physiology and behaviour is termed?Organismal ecologyPopulation ecologyLandscape ecologyCommunity ecology30s
- Q7The study of how energy and matter are exchanged between different regions of the globe; and how this exchange affects the biogeography (distribution of organisms) is termed?Community ecologyBiosphere ecologyEcosystem ecologyLandscape ecology30s
- Q8The study of the dynamics of populations and their interaction with their environment. The factors that affect the size, age, structure, density and distribution and how these change over time is termed?Population ecologyLandscape ecologyOrganismal ecologyCommunity ecology30s
