Energy Flow in Ecosystem Components—NEET Biology
📚 Practice ConceptIn earlier classes, you have looked at the various components of the environment- abiotic and biotic. You studied how the individual biotic and abiotic factors affected each other and their surrounding. Let us look at these components in a more integrated manner and see how the flow of energy takes place within these components of the ecosystem.
Which of the following statements are correct regarding the biotic components and their roles in a pond ecosystem? S1. Phytoplankton and algae are the primary autotrophic components responsible for converting radiant energy into organic material. S2. Zooplankton represents the primary consumers, feeding directly on the autotrophic components in the pond. S3. Fungi and bacteria are the primary decomposers, predominantly found at the bottom of the pond, facilitating mineralisation. S4. Dissolved inorganic substances, solar input, and temperature cycles are crucial biotic factors regulating the pond ecosystem. S5. Flagellates are exclusively photosynthetic organisms found in the upper layers of the pond.
