Question (3)

QN0037473

Why can the disappearance of microorganisms indirectly affect human survival?

(A) They determine forest ownership
(B) They participate in ecological processes supporting air, water and soil
(C) They increase hunting activities
(D) They reduce genetic diversity

Correct Answer: B

Explanation:

Living organisms help recreate the quality of air, water and soil on which humans depend.

Question (4)

QN0037474

A conservation programme protects only one endangered animal but ignores its prey, habitat and other organisms. Why might such an approach be insufficient?

(A) Wildlife exists independently of ecosystems
(B) Species are interconnected through ecological webs
(C) Protected species cannot reproduce
(D) Forests have no role in wildlife survival

Correct Answer: B

Explanation:

Species are interconnected through ecological webs, so protecting one species alone may not protect its ecosystem.

Question (5)

QN0037475

India's biological diversity is described as extremely rich. If only half of the existing species were currently known and documented, what would this imply?

(A) Biodiversity is decreasing automatically
(B) A large part of biological diversity may still remain undiscovered
(C) Forests contain no rare species
(D) Only cultivated species remain unknown

Correct Answer: B

Explanation:

The chapter states that the number of species yet to be discovered may be twice or thrice the number already known.

Question (10)

QN0037480

A wildlife protection policy successfully prevents hunting but does not protect the habitat of animals. Which major limitation would remain?

(A) Wildlife would have no legal status
(B) Species could still suffer from habitat loss

(D) Forests would become unclassified

Correct Answer: B

Explanation:

Habitat protection is important because habitat shrinkage is a major threat to wildlife.
