Answer:

Option D, Food chains are linear, while food webs are complex.

Explanation:

A food chain is a linear organization in which the producer lies at the first stage followed by consumer organisms lying at primary, secondary and tertiary stages of food chain.

While in a food web, there can be several interlinked food chains or there can be an organism within the food web which is part of several food chains at an instance. Hence, the linearity of organization cannot be retained in case of food web thereby making it more complex than the food chain.  

Hence, option D is correct.

asambeis [7]

Answer:

Net Primary productivity

Explanation:

In an ecosystem, primary productivity is a term used for autotrophic organisms. It is the process by which these organisms like plants, green algae etc. make their own food using inorganic sources. However, they do not utilize all the matter they make from this process.

The NET PRIMARY PRODUCTIVITY (NPP) is the amount of organic material that is available for transfer to the next trophic level after subtracting material used for respiration. This means that NPP is the amount available after removal of the one to be lost via respiration i.e. NPP = GPP - respiration.
