Maximum deposition of DDT will occur in:

  • (A) Phytoplankton
  • (B) Crab
  • (C) Eel
  • (D) Seagull
Check Answer
  • (D) Seagull
Explanation
  • In “The Seagull” the peak buildup of DDT is shown as an example of biomagnification. Biomagnification is the buildup of DDT, which is a pesticide that does not break down and loves fat, because the body cannot metabolize and excrete the pesticide readily. As one goes up the food chain, the more DDT is accumulated in the body.
  • In the food chain of the aquatic ecosystem, the Seagull is the final consumer of the food chain and is located at the top of the food chain. The Seagull preys on the fish and other sea creatures that have already accumulated the DDT from the lower levels of the food chain.[/expand]

    Which is not an exhaustible source available on the Earth for man?

    • (A) Water
    • (B) Air
    • (C) Oxygen
    • (D) Wood
    Check Answer
    • (B) Air
    Explanation
  • We can’t consume the air in a way that depletes the resource in a human lifetime. We can certainly pollute the air we breathe, but the atmosphere is a vast and continuous media that isn’t used up by our activities. On a human timescale, the resource of air is treated as if it is inexhaustible and renewable because the resource isn’t realistically depleted by human activities, although the quality of the resource may be degraded. Air is treated as an inexhaustible natural resource because there is so much of it and we aren’t likely to use up the resource.
  • Air, when taken as the atmosphere of the planet Earth, is always freely available on a global scale even when it is being used or wasted. Water and wood have the tendency to be exhausted when overused, while oxygen also has the tendency to be exhausted in a closed environment, but the same is not true for Air.
