NEET Botany Energy Flow Match the Following Question
Match Column-I with Column-II.
| Column-I | Column-II |
|---|---|
| (a) Gross Primary Productivity | (i) Biomass available for consumers |
| (b) Net Primary Productivity | (ii) Organic matter produced during photosynthesis |
| (c) Standing Crop | (iii) Mass of living organisms at a given time |
| (d) Decomposers | (iv) Organisms that break down dead matter |
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-iii, b-ii, c-i, d-iv
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
Gross Primary Productivity (GPP) refers to the total organic matter produced during photosynthesis, while Net Primary Productivity (NPP) is the biomass available for consumers after subtracting respiration losses. The standing crop represents the mass of living organisms at a specific time, and decomposers are the organisms responsible for breaking down dead matter.
