Phytoplankton $\rightarrow$ zooplankton $\rightarrow$ fish

Vedclass · Answer

(B) The correct sequence is $(b)$ Phytoplankton $\rightarrow$ zooplankton $\rightarrow$ fish. In an aquatic ecosystem,phytoplankton acts as the producer (primary trophic level). Zooplankton feeds on phytoplankton (primary consumer). Fish feeds on zooplankton (secondary consumer). Option $(a)$ represents a detritus food chain,but the sequence is biologically inaccurate as birds do not typically consume insect larvae that feed on bacteria. Options $(c)$ and $(d)$ are incorrect because the trophic levels are reversed or illogical (e.g.,foxes do not eat grasses,and chameleons are secondary consumers that eat insects,not primary producers).

Column-$I$	Column-$II$
$(i)$ Ecosystem	$(P)$ Bacteria,Fungi
$(ii)$ Food chain	$(Q)$ Nutrient cycling
$(iii)$ Birds	$(R)$ Primary consumer
$(iv)$ Decomposers	$(S)$ Deer

$1$. Standing state	$p$. Mass of living material at a given time
$2$. Pioneer species	$q$. Amount of nutrients in the soil at a given time
