Answer:
This question lacks options, the options are:
a) Negative primary production
b) Net primary production
c) Secondary production
d) Negative secondary production
e) Positive primary production
The correct answer is b.
The total amount of chemical energy produced by autotrophs, such as plants and phytoplankton, is called gross primary production. The energy that remains after plants use some of the gross primary production to fuel their own metabolism is known as <u>net primary production</u>.
Explanation:
Net Primary Production (NPP) is the value that results from the difference between gross production and respiration of the primary producers themselves. It manifests as growth and / or reproduction. It represents the matter and energy available for the next trophic level, that is, the net primary production is what is left after subtracting the energy that plants use for their metabolism or maintenance (such as breathing, tissue construction and reproduction).
Answer:
Organism D.
Explanation:
Amino acids are the monomers of proteins and are linked together by the peptide bond. The protein is obtained from the RNA molecules by the process known as translation.
The amino acid sequence of the proteins can also be used to study the evolutionary relationship between the organisms and the closeness of teh organisms with each other. In the question it is give that organisms A and D has least difference ( 1 amino acid sequence difference) and more related with each other.
Thus, the answer is organism D.
Answer:
Euglena is a single celled organism. It belongs to Kingdom Protista. Euglena is a eukaryotic organism that exhibit characteristics of both plants and animals. Some species of Euglena are photoautotrophs like plants which means they have ability to trap sunlight to produce food by the process of photosynthesis. Whereas, some species are heterotrophs like animals which means they obtain food by feeding on other organisms.
If scientists remove all of the chloroplasts from a Euglena, it will not be able to perform photosynthesis because chloroplast is an organelle that contains light sensitive pigments named as chlorophyll. Chlorophyll traps light energy from sun. Sunlight energy, along with carbon dioxide and water produces food in the form of glucose in plants and other photoautotrophs.
