Introducing yet another ingenious course, InsightsIAS is excited to announce our new initiative QUED – Questions from Editorials. Considering the number of questions that appeared from Editorials in previous year UPSC Prelims Examinations, we feel it is wise for students to cover Editorials from Prelims point of view as well in order to achieve that extra edge. Although, we have covered important editorials separately in our Editorial Section as well as under Secure Initiative, MCQ practice can prove to be crucial for better performance and guaranteed result.
We strongly recommend you at add QUED along with Static Quiz ,Current Affairs Quiz and RTM for your Daily MCQ practice.

Question 1 of 5
1. Question
Trace metals like cadmium or copper are essential for ocean productivity. Studying the interactions of trace metals and marine plant and animal life helps to
- Understand the nutrient cycling and productivity of the oceans
- Study the biological, geochemical and ecosystem processes and food web analyses in the oceans.
- Track the movement of water masses responsible for ocean circulation
Select the correct answer code:
Correct
Solution: d)
What is the objective of studying the interactions of trace metals and marine plant and animal life?
Trace metals like cadmium or copper are supplied to oceans via continental run-offs, atmospheric deposition, hydrothermal activities and continental shelf interaction.
They are essential for ocean productivity. Scientists say that it is important to understand the interactions of trace metals with marine biota “for having a holistic understanding about nutrient cycling and productivity of the oceans”.
Apart from their reactions on marine life, isotopic forms of trace metals can be utilised to track the movement of water masses responsible for ocean circulation and as tools to study the biological, geochemical and ecosystem processes and food web analyses.
