Answer:

B) Nitrogen-fixing bacteria and lightning

Explanation:

Nitrogen cycle is the natural process in which atmospheric nitrogen is converted into nitrite and nitrate with the help of bacteria.

Nitrogen cycle is directly dependent on nitrogen-fixing bacteria and lightning.

As bacteria are responsible for most of the chemical conversion in the nitrogen cycle such as nitrogen fixation (first step) is done by soil bacteria (Cyanobacteria) that form ammonia, which is toxic to plants; nitrification in which ammonia is converted into nitrites and nitrates with the help of Nitrobacter and denitrification bacteria involve Pseudomonas, and Achromobacter which convert nitrite and nitrate into nitrogen.

The lightning breaks nitrogen molecules and allow  it to combine with oxygen in atmosphere which further dissolve in rain and form nitrates.

Hence, the nitrogen cycle is most directly dependent upon nitrogen-fixing bacteria and lightning and the correct option is B.

3. In a field of sugar beets in Georgia the net primary productivity is 120 grams/m^2/day, and the
konstantin123 [22]

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
