Question 4 of 5
4. Question
Consider the following statements regarding Eutrophication.
- Eutrophication is when a body of water becomes overly enriched with minerals and nutrients which induce excessive growth of algae and in turn, increases water quality.
- Increase of phytoplankton in a water body is the response to increased levels of nutrients.
Which of the above statements is/are correct?
Correct
Solution: b)
Eutrophication is when a body of water becomes overly enriched with minerals and nutrients which induce excessive growth of algae. This process may result in oxygen depletion of the water body. One example is an “algal bloom” or great increase of phytoplankton in a water body as a response to increased levels of nutrients.
Eutrophication is often induced by the discharge of nitrate or phosphate-containing detergents, fertilizers, or sewage into an aquatic system.

Question 5 of 5
5. Question
Consider the following statements.
- An ecological niche is the unique functional role or place of a species in an ecosystem.
- No two species have exact identical niches.
Which of the above statements is/are correct?
Correct
Solution: c)
A niche is the unique functional role or place of a species in an ecosystem. It is a description of all the biological, physical and chemical factors that a species needs to survive, stay healthy and reproduce.
A niche is unique for a species, which means no two species have exact identical niches. Niche plays an important role in conservation of organisms.
If we have to conserve species in its native habitat we should have knowledge about the niche requirements of the species and should ensure that all requirements of its niche are fulfilled.
