Consider the two statements:
| Assertion (A): | The pyramid of biomass may be "inverted" in a pond ecosystem |
| Reason (R): | In a pond ecosystem, the standing crop of phytoplankton, the major producers, at any given point will be lower than the mass of the heterotrophs, such as fish and insects. |
| 1. | Both (A) and (R) are True and the (R) correctly explains (A). |
| 2. | Both (A) and (R) are True but the (R) does not correctly explain (A). |
| 3. | (A) is True but (R) is False. |

Identify the incorrect statement:
| 1. | Death of an organism is the beginning of the detritus food chain/web. |
| 2. | In an aquatic ecosystem, the detritus food chain (DFC) is the major conduit for energy flow. |
| 3. | In a terrestrial ecosystem, a much larger fraction of energy flows through the detritus food chain than through the grazing food chain (GFC). |
| 4. | Detritus food chain may be connected with the grazing food chain at some levels. |
