Answer to: Sometimes due to biotic/abiotic factor the climax remains in a particular serai stage (pre climax) without reaching climax. Do you agree with this statement?

It is true that any change in the. abiotic/biotic factor will arrest a particular serial stage leading to a pre-climax condition before the climax sta...

Answer to: In relation to energy transfer in ecosystem, explain the statement “10 kg of deer’s meat is equivalent to 1 kg of lion’s flesh”.

Transfer of energy in an ecosystem follow 10% law, i.e., only 10% energy is transferred from one trophic level to higher trophic level. So, if lion fe...

Answer to: The number of trophic levels in an ecosystem are limited. Comment.

In a food chain, only 10% of the total amount of energy is passed on to the next trophic level from the previous trophic level. So, there is a decreas...

Answer to: Organisms at a higher trophic level have less energy available. Comment.

The transfer of energy follows 10 per cent law - only 10 per cent of the energy is transferred to each trophic level from the lower trophic level. So,...

Answer to: In a reaction between A and B, the initial rate of reaction (r0) was measured for different initial concentrations of A and B as given below:

Let the order of the reaction with respect to A be x and with respect to B be y. Therefore, r0 = k[A]x [B]y 5.07 x 10-5 = k[0.20]x[0.30]y .......

Answer to: A reaction is first order in A and second order in B. (i) Write the differential rate equation. (ii) How is the rate affected on increasing the concentration of B three times?

(i) The differential rate equation will be - = k[A][B]2 (ii) If the concentration of B is increased three times, then - = k[A][3B]2 = 9.k[A][B...
