I. | Ramdeo Misra is revered as the Father of Ecology in India. |
II. | Ecology studies the interactions among organisms and between the organism and its physical [abiotic] environment. |
III. | The study of Ecology begins at cellular biological organisation level. |
IV. | Ecology at the organism level is essentially physiological ecology. |

The biome characterized by a mean annual temperature between 5C and 22C and mean annual precipitation between 5 cm and 50 cm is:
1. Desert
2. Arctic and alpine tundra
3. Temperate forest
4. Grassland
Formation of tropical forests needs mean annual temperature and mean annual precipitation as:
1. 18 – 25 °C and 150 – 400 cm
2. 5 – 15 °C and 50 – 100 cm
3. 30 - 50°C and 100 – 150 cm
4. 5 – 15 °C and 100 – 200 cm
