Given below are two statements. Statement I - Exchange of...
Given below are two statements.
Statement I - Exchange of phosphorus between organism and the environment is very high.
Statement II - Atmospheric inputs of carbon through rainfall are much smaller than phosphorus.
In the light of above statements, select the correct option given below:
Statement I - Exchange of phosphorus between organism and the environment is very high.
Statement II - Atmospheric inputs of carbon through rainfall are much smaller than phosphorus.
In the light of above statements, select the correct option given below:
Options
- ABoth statement I and statement II are correct.
- BBoth statement I and statement II are incorrect.
- CStatement I is correct but statement II is incorrect.
- DStatement I is incorrect but statement II is correct.
Correct answer
B. Both statement I and statement II are incorrect.
Step-by-step solution
According to the NCERT Biology textbook, there are two major differences between the carbon and phosphorus cycles:
1. Gaseous exchanges of phosphorus between organisms and the environment are negligible. Therefore, Statement I is incorrect.
2. Atmospheric inputs of phosphorus through rainfall are much smaller than carbon inputs. Therefore, Statement II is incorrect.
Both Statement I and Statement II are incorrect.
Answer: Both statement I and statement II are incorrect.
1. Gaseous exchanges of phosphorus between organisms and the environment are negligible. Therefore, Statement I is incorrect.
2. Atmospheric inputs of phosphorus through rainfall are much smaller than carbon inputs. Therefore, Statement II is incorrect.
Both Statement I and Statement II are incorrect.
Answer: Both statement I and statement II are incorrect.
