(a) In a food chain the energy moves progressively through the various tropic levels and is no longer available to the organisms of the previous trophic level/ energy captured by the autotrophs does not revert back to the solar input.
(b) Pesticides used for crop protection when washed away/ down into the soil/ water bodies absorbed by plants/ producers.
(c) On consumption they enter our food chain and being non-biodegradable these chemicals get accumulated progressively and enter our body.
(i) Homologous organs. Homologous organs are those organs which are formed on the same fundamental structural plan but they differ in their shapes because they have to function differently. Example: Forelimbs of frog and bird. (ii) Analogous organs. Analogous organs are structurally and developmentaRead more
(i) Homologous organs. Homologous organs are those organs which are formed on the same fundamental structural plan but they differ in their shapes because they have to function differently.
Example: Forelimbs of frog and bird.
(ii) Analogous organs. Analogous organs are structurally and developmentally quite different from each other i.e., they have different origins.
But they performs similar functions in different animals.
Example: The wings of a bird and wings of a bat.
(iii) Fossils. The remains or impressions of dead and decayed plants and animals are called fossils. Fossils tell us how new species are developed from the old one.
Example: Fossils of dinosaurs.
Three advantages of vegetative propagation: (i) Plants which do not produce viable seeds can be propagated by this method. (ii) Plants raised by this method can bear flowers and fruits earlier than those produced from seeds. (iii) Superior quality of plants can be obtained.

Placenta: Placenta is a specialized tissue embeddded in the uterine wall. It contains villi on the embryo's side and blood spaces on the mother side. Function: It helps in exchange of nutrients, gases and waste materials between the mother and embryo/foetus.

” Energy Flow in food chains is always unidirectional.” justify this statement. Explain how the pesticides enter a food chain and subsequently get into our body.
(a) In a food chain the energy moves progressively through the various tropic levels and is no longer available to the organisms of the previous trophic level/ energy captured by the autotrophs does not revert back to the solar input. (b) Pesticides used for crop protection when washed away/ down inRead more
