The other options (flying squirrel, flying lizard, chameleon) are all capable of living in trees. 2 / 50 2. ecology99_Which of the following is not correct about adaptation of arboreal animals of the tropical rainforest A) Adhesive pads on the hands B) Long prehensive tails C) Large body build D) long arms and claws Arboreal animals are typically smaller and more agile to navigate the trees. A large body build would be a disadvantage for climbing and moving through branches. 3 / 50 3. ecology98_Which of the following is not characteristics of animals in the tropical rainforest A) There are abundant flying lizards with well developed sense of sight B) The ground-dweller animals have better devoped sense of hearing than sight C) The organism in the ground are mainly decomposers D) The arboreal animals are larger than the ground dwellers Generally, ground-dwelling animals in tropical rainforests may be larger than arboreal animals, which are often smaller and adapted for climbing. This statement is misleading. 4 / 50 4. ecology90_Which of the following is not tropical rain forest Habitat in Nigeria A) Kano B) Oyo C) Anambra D) Akwa Ibom Kano is primarily in a drier region and does not have tropical rainforest habitat. Akwa Ibom, Anambra, and Oyo have significant rainforest areas 5 / 50 5. ecology87_Which of the following are the most important factors influencing the vegetations of terrestrial habitat A) Humidity and Tide B) Current and Temperature C) salinity and PH D) Temperature and rainfall Temperature and rainfall are the key climatic factors that determine the types of vegetation that can thrive in terrestrial habitats. 6 / 50 6. ecology71_Which of the following is the body of water where tides flows into A) Intertidal B) estuarine C) Benthic D) Lithoral zone Estuarine areas are where freshwater from rivers meets ocean water, leading to tidal flows. The other options refer to zones or areas that do not specifically denote where tides enter. 7 / 50 7. ecology75_which of the following is the order of food chain in marine life A) phytoplankton,zooplankton,primary consumer, secondary consumer B) phytoplankton, zooplankton, secondary consumer, primary consumer C) zooplankton, phytoplankton, primary consumer, secondary consumer D) zooplankton, primary consumer, phytoplankton, secondary consumer This is the correct sequence in the marine food chain, where phytoplankton serve as primary producers, followed by zooplankton as primary consumers, and so forth. 8 / 50 8. ecology95_Which of the following is not correct about the floor or lower layer of the tropical rainforest A) The undergrowth is thick due to good sunlight to the floor B) Decomposers and nonvascular plants like mosses and lichens are abundant C) The forest floor is moist and covered with litter/fallen leaves D) There is high humidity towards the floor The forest floor of tropical rainforests is often dark and has limited sunlight, resulting in a thin undergrowth.
