Question 1 of 5
1. Question
With reference to the food chains in ecosystems, which of the following kinds of organism is/are known as decomposer organism/organisms? (2013)
- Virus
- Fungi
- Bacteria
Select the correct answer using the codes given below:
Correct
Solution (b)
Most viruses need a living host organism-they are more like a parasite.
Fungi are the major decomposers of nature; they break down organic matter which would otherwise not be recycled.
Bacteria play an important role in decomposition of organic materials, especially in the early stages of decomposition when moisture levels are high. In the later stages of decomposition, fungi tend to dominate. Bacillus subtilis and Pseudomonas fluorescens are examples of decomposer bacteria.

2. Question
Fruits stored in a cold chamber exhibit longer storage life because (2013)
Correct
Solution (c)
Metabolic activity is manifested by respiration. Reduction of temperature is an effective means of reducing the rate of respiration. Fruits and vegetables continue their metabolic activity even after harvest.

Question 3 of 5
3. Question
Consider the following fauna and India: (2013)
- Gharial
- Leatherback turtle
- Swamp deer
Which of the above is/are endangered?
Correct
Solution (c)
Gharial has been listed as critically endangered on the IUCN Red List since 2007. The oldest known depictions of the gharial are about 4,000 years old and were found in the Indus Valley.
Although Leatherback turtle distribution is wide, numbers of leatherback turtles have seriously declined during the last century as a result of intense egg collection and fisheries by catch. Globally, leatherback status according to IUCN is listed as Vulnerable, but many subpopulations (such as in the Pacific and Southwest Atlantic) are Critically Endangered.
Swamp deer also known as the Barasingha is a highly endangered species protected under schedule 1, of the Wildlife Protection Act of India 1972. It is also included in the red data list of the rare animals of the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN).

Question 4 of 5
4. Question
Ball bearings are used in bicycles, cars, etc., because (2013)
Correct
Solution (c)
Ball bearings are used to reduce friction and friction is directly proportional to effective surface area. So if effective surface area is reduced then friction will also reduce.
Incorrect
Solution (c)
Ball bearings are used to reduce friction and friction is directly proportional to effective surface area. So if effective surface area is reduced then friction will also reduce.

Question 5 of 5
5. Question
Rainbow is produced when sunlight falls on drops of rain. Which of the following physical phenomena are responsible for this? (2013)
- Dispersion
- Refraction
- Internal reflection
Select the correct answer using the codes given below:
Correct
Solution (d)
A rainbow is a meteorological phenomenon that is caused by reflection, refraction and dispersion of light in water droplets resulting in a spectrum of light appearing in the sky. It takes the form of a multi coloured circular arc. Some of the light will reflect off the back of the drop if the angle is larger than the critical angle. Rainbows caused by sunlight always appear in the section of sky directly opposite the sun.
