Answer and Explanation:

Available Data:

  • 1 gr beets = 2,000 cal
  • NPP = GPP – Respiration = 120 grams/m2/day
  • NPP= Net primary productivity of a system
  • GPP= Gross productivity of the producers
  • Respiration loss 25% of NPP
  • Insolation energy is 800 calories/cm2/day
  • % Efficiency of Photosynthesis = (NPP/Insolation Energy) X 100

1) Find the gross productivity of the sugar beets.

We need to calculate the GPP, which equals NPP - Respiration rate. The respiration loss is 25% of the NPP. This is:

100% NPP--------------- 120 g/m²/day

25% NPP ----------------X = (25 x 120)/100 = 30 g/m²/day

Now that we know the values of NPP and respiration rate, we can calculate the GPP.

GPP = NPP - Respiration

GPP = 120 (g/m²/day) - 30 (g/m²/day)

GPP = 90 g/m²/day

GPP = 0.009 g/cm²/day

2) Using the NPP, calculate the efficiency of photosynthesis for the sugar beets.

% Efficiency of Photosynthesis = (NPP/Insolation Energy) X 100

We know the NPP, but this value is calculated in g/m²/day, while the Insolation energy is in g/cm²/day. We need to calculate the % Efficiency of Photosynthesis in cm. To do that, we must transform the information.

So if 1 m² = 10,000 cm², then:

10,000cm²----------120 grams/m²/day NPP

1 cm²---------------- (1 x 120) / 10,000 = 0.012 grams/cm²/day NPP

We also know that 1 gr beets = 2,000 cal, and that the Insolation energy is 800 calories/cm²/day

So we need to transform Insolation energy from calories/cm²/day to grams/cm²/day, so:

2,000 calories ----------------- 1 gr beet

800 calories/cm²/day---------X = 0.4 gr beet.

% Efficiency of Photosynthesis = (NPP/Insolation Energy) X 100

% Efficiency of Photosynthesis = (0.012 (gr/cm2/day) /0.4 (gr/cm2/day)) X 100

% Efficiency of Photosynthesis = 3 gr/cm2/day

if we use a cscl gradient to test the density of various nucleic acids, both rna and dna-rna hybrids are more density than just
Wewaii [24]

RNA and DNA-RNA hybrids are more dense than simply DNA if the density of different nucleic acids is tested using a CsCl gradient.

The primary technique employed in molecular biology is the extraction of DNA, RNA, and protein. Scientists can separate materials according to size, shape, and density by using density gradient centrifugation. Isopycnic centrifugation, a sort of density gradient centrifugation that Meselson and Stahl developed, employed a cesium chloride solution to separate DNA molecules solely on the basis of density. Because DNA has hydrogen bonds between its strands, which makes it less dense than RNA, RNA has a far larger density than DNA. RNA can be obtained at the test tube's bottom using a CsCl density gradient and high centrifugation, whereas DNA can be recovered in the middle layer.

SSSSS [86.1K]

Question:What is one difference between the theory of continental drift and the one theory of plate tectonics

Answer/Explanation: Continental drift is the hypothesis that states that the continents once formed a single landmass(Pangaea) broke up and drifted to their present locations.Sea-floor spreading the process by which new oceanic lithosphere(sea floor) forms as magma rises to Earth's surface and solidifies at a mid-ocean ridge.

Trash is unsanitary and can attract pests it is important that trash is taken out to the dumpster
djverab [1.8K]
<h2>Answer:</h2>

Trash is unsanitary and can attract pests it is important that trash is taken out to the dumpster otherwise it can cause serious infection in the individuals of a society.

Garbage pollution is the main reason for various bacterial diseases. Gastrointestinal, stomach pain, vomiting and diarrhea, cholera, typhoid, malaria skin diseases and respiratory allergies are the diseases which are caused by the garbage.

The smoke from the burning garbage not only poisons the air, it also increases the spread of diseases. Recent research has provided information about emission of toxic gases like carbon dioxide and carbon monoxide due to the burning of waste.
