Answer 1

Answer:

2st is a false statement

Answer 2

Option iv It consists of all non-living components, flora, fauna and microbes is false.

Explanation:

• Option iv is false because biodiversity refers to the different plants and animals which are present in a particular habitat. Biodiversity does not refer to the non-living components of the ecosystem.

• Other options such as option i are true because cutting of trees and killing of animals will reduce the number of species in an ecosystem. It might cause species to become endangered or extinct on the whole.
