Q1- Read the following case and answer accordingly.
A polar region remains covered with snow most of the year. The temperature is
extremely low, and very few plants grow there. Animals like polar bears and seals
have a thick layer of fat under their skin and dense fur to protect them from the
cold. Penguins huddle together to keep themselves warm.
a) Why are plants rare in the polar region?

Q3- Read the scenario below and choose the correct answer.
Imagine an island ecosystem where a new predator, a carnivorous species, has been
introduced due to human activity, such as accidental release or illegal pet trade. This
predator has no natural enemies on the island and begins to thrive in its new
environment.
Effects on Prey Populations: The predator quickly targets a few key prey species, such
as small mammals and birds. Without any evolutionary adaptations to defend against this
new threat, these prey species face rapid declines in their populations.

Trophic Cascades: As the prey species decline, animals that rely on them for food—like
larger predators or scavengers—begin to suffer from food shortages. This creates a
cascading effect throughout the food web, potentially leading to further declines or
extinctions.
Long-Term Dynamics: Over time, the surviving prey may develop new behaviors or
adaptations, such as increased vigilance or nocturnal activity, to evade the predator.
This could lead to a new balance in the ecosystem, but it may take generations to
achieve.
a) How might a decline in prey populations affect other predators in the ecosystem?
a. It will have no effect on other predators.
b. Other predators may struggle due to food shortages.
c. Other predators will migrate to different ecosystems.
b) Which of the following might happen to plant communities following a decline in
herbivore populations?
a. Increased grazing pressure on plants.
b. Overgrowth of certain plant species.
c. Reduced competition among plant species.
c) What lesson can be drawn about biodiversity from the introduction of a new
predator?
a. Biodiversity has no impact on ecosystem health.
b. Maintaining biodiversity is crucial for ecosystem stability.
c. Predators are more important than prey in an ecosystem.
