Vedclass · Answer

(A) $1$. In a terrestrial ecosystem,the major conduit for energy flow is the detritus food chain $(DFC)$,not the grazing food chain $(GFC)$.$2$. In an aquatic ecosystem,the grazing food chain $(GFC)$ is the major conduit for energy flow.$3$. Therefore,the statement that 'much more energy flows through the grazing food chain than through the detritus food chain in a terrestrial ecosystem' is incorrect.$4$. The detritus food chain is indeed connected to the grazing food chain at some levels (e.g.,organisms of the $DFC$ may become prey to the $GFC$ animals).$5$. Organisms like cockroaches,crows,and humans are omnivores as they consume both plants and animals.$6$. The natural interconnection of multiple food chains creates a complex network known as a food web.

Column-$I$	Column-$II$
$(i)$ Producers	$(P)$ Primary consumers
$(ii)$ Herbivores	$(Q)$ Net primary productivity
$(iii)$ Carnivores	$(R)$ Primary trophic level
$(iv)$ Top carnivores	$(S)$ Secondary productivity

Select the incorrect statement from the following.
