With reference to Ecosystem, which of the following statements is/are correct?1.Green plants in terrestrial ecosystem capture about 1% of energy of the sunlight that falls on their leaves.2.Around 10% of organic matter reaches to the next higher level of consumers.Select the correct answer from the code given below:

1. A

   Only 2

   Only 2. Drops the 1% capture line, which is the standard terrestrial-GPP textbook figure.

2. B

   Neither 1 nor 2

   Neither. Both limbs are the usual ecology pairing.

3. C

   Both 1 and 2

   Both 1 and 2. Green plants in a terrestrial system fix about 1% of the sunlight on the leaf. About 10% of energy/organic matter passes to the next consumer trophic level (Lindeman’s ten-percent law).

4. D

   Only 1

   Only 1. The 10% transfer is also keyed correct.

Summary. Official key is (c) both 1 and 2. About 1% of incident sunlight is captured; about 10% moves to the next consumer level. Also note: Lindeman 1942 — Trophic-dynamic ten-percent transfer; GPP / NPP — Gross vs net primary production after plant respiration; 10% law is a rule of thumb — Real transfers often 5–20%; Aquatic systems — Phytoplankton capture can differ from the 1% terrestrial figure.
