NEET Botany (general) Match the Following Question
Match Column-I with Column-II.
| Column-I | Column-II |
|---|---|
| (a) Decomposers | (i) Lignin and chitin |
| (b) Detritus food chain | (ii) Organic matter degradation |
| (c) Gross primary productivity | (iii) Nutrient reservoir |
| (d) Humus | (iv) Solar energy fixation |
a-ii, b-i, c-iv, d-iii
a-i, b-ii, c-iii, d-iv
a-iv, b-iii, c-i, d-ii
a-iii, b-iv, c-ii, d-i
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
Decomposers are primarily responsible for the degradation of organic matter, which is the essence of the detritus food chain. The correct pairing indicates that decomposers (a) relate to the degradation process (ii), while the detritus food chain (b) connects to the nutrients derived from this organic matter (i). Gross primary productivity (c) is linked to the process of capturing solar energy (iv), and humus (d) acts as a nutrient reservoir (iii).
