Ecological Adaptations and Biomes

The video explores the concept of ecology, focusing on the interactions between organisms and their environments. It discusses abiotic and biotic factors, climate variations, and the formation of biomes. The video also examines the distribution of biomes and species diversity, highlighting the adaptations organisms have developed to survive in various habitats.

Which of the following is NOT an abiotic component?

• Soil

• Light

• Parasites

• Temperature

What is the primary focus of ecology?

• The study of abiotic factors only

• The study of biotic factors only

• The interactions among organisms and their environment

• The study of isolated organisms

What causes the formation of major biomes?

• Human activities

• Annual variations in temperature and precipitation

• The presence of predators

• The abundance of food

Which biome is characterized by high temperatures and significant rainfall throughout the year?

• Grassland

• Rainforest

• Tundra

• Desert

Which region in India is known for its harsh habitat due to permafrost?

• Rajasthan desert

• Himalayas

• Magali forests

• Uttaranchal

Which of the following is a favorable habitat in India?

• Valley of flowers in Tarantula

• Deep ocean trenches in the Indian Ocean

• Scorching Rajasthan desert

• Permafrost regions in the Himalayas

How have desert plants adapted to conserve water?

• By having large leaves

• By increasing transpiration

• By growing taller

• By developing spongy stems and reduced leaves

What adaptation helps rainforest plants manage excess water?

• Thick bark

• Deep roots

• Leaves with drip tips

• Spiny leaves

What is a common characteristic of organisms in the Rajasthan desert?

• They have adapted to cold temperatures

• They have adapted to conserve water

• They have adapted to low sunlight

• They have adapted to high rainfall

Why do organisms differ from habitat to habitat?

• Because they do not interact with their environment

• Due to variations in abiotic and biotic factors

• Because of similar biotic interactions

• Due to uniform abiotic conditions
