None of the above? I’m guessing, secondary, primary and tertiary doesn’t sound right !
There won't be any Photosynthesis occurring and plants and tress will eventually die.. When the plants die the omnivorous animals will die of hunger..... Also we will be suffering from famine
Answer:
<em>The total amount of energy transferred during photosynthesis for this ecosystem equals</em><em> 260,000 kcal/m2/yr.</em>
Explanation:
To answer this question, we need to know that
- gross primary productivity (GPP) = energy captured and converted into chemical energy during photosynthesis
- net primary productivity (NPP) = difference between GPP and respiration rate
So, to calculate GPP we need to sum NPP to Respiration rate. This if,
NPP = 165,000 kcal/m2/yr
R = 95,000 kcal/m2/yr
NPP = GPP – Respiration
Then,
GPP = NPP + R
GPP = 165,000 kcal/m2/yr + 95,000 kcal/m2/yr
GPP = 260,000 kcal/m2/yr
One potential result of climate change is greenhouse effect that is defined as the accumulation of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere that retains heat radiated from the sun. While this can seem beneficial because plants use carbon dioxide in photosynthesis, elevated levels of carbon dioxide actually inhibit photosynthetic mechanisms (Xu, 2015).
