MCQ on Ecosystem with Answer Pdf Download: 

1. As we know Ecosystems is relationship between all the living and nonliving things (plants, animals, organisms, sun, water, climate etc) interact with each other is called ecosystem. 
2. An ecosystem can be as small as in a desert or as big as an ocean, spanning thousands of miles. There are two types of ecosystem, Terrestrial Ecosystem, Aquatic Ecosystem
3. In ecosystems the Producers are innclude in all autotrophic organisms such as plants. They are called autotrophs because they can produce their own food through the process of photosynthesis. Consequently, all other organisms called consumers because they rely on producers for food.
4. Within an ecosystem there are several types of consumers, which together form a food chain. The types of consumers are divided into:
5. Primary consumers : These are the animals that feed on the producers, that is, the herbivorous species;
6. Secondary consumers: These are animals that feed on herbivores, the first category of carnivorous animals
7. Tertiary consumers: These are large predators such as sharks, killer whales and lions, which capture large prey, being considered the top predators in the chain;
8. Decomposers: These are the organisms responsible for decomposing organic matter, transforming it into mineral nutrients that become available again in the environment.
