1 - (ii), (iii) The ecosystem is defined as the interaction of all the living organisms in a given area, along with the non-living components in their environment. Deer depends on only plants and their parts for food and hence, it is a herbivore and a part of an ecosystem. 2 - (ii), (v) Parrot is a part of an ecosystem and feeds on both plants and animals. Its diet includes fruits, seeds, small insects, etc. Hence, they are omnivores. 3 - (ii), (vi) Cobra is a part of an ecosystem and feeds only on the flesh of other animals. Hence, it is a carnivore. 4 - (ii), (i), (vii), (iv) The pine tree is a part of an ecosystem and prepares its own food through the process of photosynthesis. Hence, it is known as an autotroph, producer. Pine trees have needle-like leaves which prevent water loss in freezing weather and shed snow more easily than broad leaves. Therefore, they are found in coniferous forests. 5 - (ii), (iii) Grasshopper is a part of an ecosystem and is an insect that feeds on grass, which is a type of plant. Hence, it is a herbivore. It is consumed by animals such as frogs and lizards. Column I Column II 1. Deer (ii) Ecosystem, (iii) Herbivore 2. Parrot (ii) Ecosystem, (v) Omnivore 3. Cobra (ii) Ecosystem, (vi) Carnivore 4.
