Match Column-I with Column-II.
| Column-I | Column-II |
|---|---|
| (a) Gross Primary Productivity | (i) Biomass available for consumption |
| (b) Net Primary Productivity | (ii) Organic matter production during photosynthesis |
| (c) Decomposers | (iii) Energy source from dead biomass |
| (d) Standing Crop | (iv) Mass of living organisms in an area |
a-ii, b-i, c-iii, d-iv
a-i, b-ii, c-iv, d-iii
a-ii, b-iv, c-i, d-iii
a-iv, b-ii, c-iii, d-i
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
Gross Primary Productivity refers to the total organic matter produced during photosynthesis (ii), while Net Primary Productivity is the biomass available for consumption (i). Decomposers utilize dead biomass (iii), and the Standing Crop represents the mass of living organisms in a unit area (iv).
