NEET Botany (general) Match the Following Question
Match Column-I with Column-II.
Column-I Column-II (a) Species richness in tropics (i) Greater solar energy availability (b) Species-area relationship (ii) Greater niche specialization (c) Tropical environments (iii) Limited explored area (d) Biodiversity significance (iv) Ecosystem functioning
Choose the correct matching:
a-i, b-iii, c-ii, d-iv
a-ii, b-i, c-iv, d-iii
a-iv, b-ii, c-i, d-iii
a-iii, b-ii, c-i, d-iv
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
Tropical environments have greater solar energy availability, which contributes to higher productivity and species richness. The species-area relationship shows that species richness increases with explored area up to a limit. Greater niche specialization occurs in constant tropical environments, supporting biodiversity's significance for ecosystem functioning.
