Ecosystem Diversity and Biodiversity Hotspots — NEET Biology
📚 Practice ConceptEcological diversity: At the ecosystem level, India, for instance, with its deserts, rain forests, mangroves, coral reefs, wetlands, estuaries, and alpine meadows has a greater ecosystem diversity than a Scandinavian country like Norway.
Match the following : Column I A. Genetic diversity B. Species diversity C. Ecological diversity D. Endemism E. Mega diversity country Column II 1. Greater amphibian diversity in Western Ghats 2. Species confined only to a region 3. Rauwolfia vomitoria variation in reserpine 4. India 5. Deserts, coral reefs, alpine meadows
View solution & NCERT explanation
Correct answer: A — A–3, B–1, C–5, D–2, E–4
Genetic variation is seen in Rauwolfia vomitoria. Species richness is higher for amphibians in Western Ghats compared to Eastern Ghats. Ecological diversity is reflected in deserts, coral reefs, alpine meadows. Endemism means species confined to one place. India is one of 12 mega diversity countries.
