1. Plant makes its own food, they are autotroph.

2. Another significant explanation for the high species richness in the tropics is the increased solar energy received, leading to greater productivity.

3. The number of fungi species in the world is more than the combined total of the species of fishes, arthropods, reptiles, and mammals.

4. The group of Fungi has more species than all the vertebrate species combined.

5. How does the bee know which flower has nectar? because it can sense the electrical charge of flowers that have nectar.

6. Ecological effects of any factors on a population are generally reflected in its size (population density), which may be expressed in different ways (numbers, biomass, per cent cover, etc.,) depending on the species.

7. The annual net primary productivity of terrestrial is 70% (wet weight).

8. Biodiversity conservation may be in situ as well as ex situ.

9. The monthly net primary productivity of the whole biosphere is approximately 170 million tons (wet weight) of organic matter.

10. Ramdeo Misra’s research failed to contribute to the understanding of tropical communities, their succession, environmental responses of plant populations, or productivity and nutrient cycling in ecosystems using genetic engineering me.

11. Of the named species, > 70 per cent are animals, of which 70 per cent are insects.

12. The human liver fluke is not a helminth parasite.

13. The annual net primary productivity of terrestrial is 55 million tons (dry weight).

14. The number of fungi species in the world is more than the combined total of the species of fishes, amphibians, reptiles, and mammals.

15. A particular aspect of ecology is the study of anthropogenic environmental degradation and the socio-political issues it has raised.

16. Interspecific interactions arise from the interaction of populations of two different species.

17. Plants have developed a wide range of morphological and chemical defences against herbivory.

18. Among recorded plants and animals, insects are the most species-rich taxonomic group, making up approximately 50 per cent of the total.

19. At any level of biological organisation, the ‘how-type’ questions seek the mechanism behind the process while ‘why-type’ questions seek the significance of the process.

20. Our countries in situ conservation efforts are reflected in its 14 biosphere reserves, 90 national parks, > 450 wildlife sanctuaries and many sacred groves.

21. It is believed that communities with high diversity tend to be less variable, more productive, and more resistant to biological invasions.

22. The distribution of different age groups within a population is often represented graphically using an age pyramid; its shape serves as an indicator of whether a population is stable, expanding, or declining.

23. Energy flow is unidirectional.

24. India, with about 45,000 species of plants and twice as many species of animals, is one of the 12 mega diversity countries of the world. 

25. Biology is never divided into fields like botany, zoology, or microbiology, nor is it separated into classical and modern aspects.

26. If an alien from a distant galaxy were to visit our planet Earth, the first thing that would amaze and baffle him would most probably be the enormous IQ of the human that he would encounter.

27. The annual gross primary productivity of ocean is 70% (dry weight).

28. If we do not accept biochemical or molecular criteria for delineating prokaryote species, then their diversity alone might run into trillions.

29. Corp fields may also be considered as a man-made terrestrial ecosystem.

30. For any species, the minimal requirement is one more species on which it can feed.

31. Plants do capture solar energy, initiating the flow of food energy from producers to consumers within ecosystems.

32. More than 50 scholars completed their Ph.Ds. under Ramdeo Misra supervision, many of whom went on to spread ecology teaching and research across universities and institutes throughout the country.

33. How are night-blooming flowers mainly white? because to attract the pollinator in the dim light.

34. Assertions that the introduction of the Nile perch into Lake Victoria led to the extinction of over 200 species of cichlid fish lack conclusive evidence and may overlook other contributing factors to changes in species composition.

35. Born on 26 August 1908, Ramdeo Misra obtained Ph.D. in Ecology (1937) under Prof. W. H. Pearsall, FRS, from Leeds University in UK.

36. Suggestions that the extinction of a host fish species invariably leads to the extinction of its unique assembly of parasites lack comprehensive evidence and overlook potential mechanisms for parasite survival or adaptation to new hosts.

37. Ramdeo Misra is not recognised as the father of biotechnology in India.

38. Decomposition indeed involves processes such as fragmentation of detritus, leaching, and catabolism, contributing to the recycling of organic matter within ecosystems.

39. Misra establishes any teaching or research programs in genetic engineering at the Department of Biotechnology at Banaras Hindu University, Varanasi.

40. In parasitism, only the parasite benefits while the host is harmed by the interaction.

41. The life cycles of parasites are often involving one or two intermediate hosts or vectors to facilitate parasitisation of its intermediate host.

42. The annual gross primary productivity of terrestrial is 55 million tons (dry weight).

43. The life cycles of parasites are often simple.

44. At any level of biological organisation, the ‘why-type’ questions seek the mechanism behind the process.

45. Parasites can decrease the population density of hosts.

46. Species diversity on earth is not uniformly distributed but shows interesting patterns.

47. Nutrient cycling indeed encompasses both gaseous and sedimentary cycles, reflecting the diverse pathways through which nutrients move within ecosystems.

48. In in situ conservation, endangered species are safeguarded within their natural habitats to protect the entire ecosystem.

49. The concept of carrying capacity has no relevance in ecology, and population growth is unrestricted by environmental limitations.

50. For all species, the minimal requirement is one more species on which it can feed.
