Insolation is the amount of solar energy that is incident on the surface of the earth. For the same insolation, water bodies tend to absorb the most heat as water has a high heat capacity and so do grasslands. Areas such as desserts and glaciers do not absorb high amounts of insolation due to which these areas exhibit extreme, inhabitable environments. The order becomes:
The Atlantic Ocean
A marshy wetland
Nevada desert
Polar ice caps

The net primary production of a pine forest on a lava flow on Mount Fuji is about 165,000 kcal/m2/yr, and the plant respiration

IceJOKER [234]

Answer:

The total amount of energy transferred during photosynthesis for this ecosystem equals 260,000 kcal/m2/yr.

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

nadya68 [22]

Answer:

C. Diploid condition

Explanation:

A Karyotype is the pictorial display that shows chromosome arrangement and number in a cell. The Karyotype shows any abnormalities in the nuclear material (chromosomes). In a carrot plant that was cloned from carrot root, the clones should possess the same features as the original plant.

A Karyotype of both plants i.e. clone and the original plant should show that their cells have a diploid number of chromosomes i.e. Two sets of chromosomes. Since a carrot plant is a diploid organism.

What is the line of defence involved in phagocytosis

makkiz [27]

Answer:

The second line of defence is nonspecific resistance, which kills intruders in a broad manner without focusing on specific individuals: phagocytic cells ingest and kill any germs that enter body tissues.
