Scientists calculated the net primary productivity at two different forest sites. Both forests have the same gross primary produ

ctivity. Forest A has a net primary productivity of 1,650kcal/m^2/year, and forest B has net primary productivity of 1,110kcal/m^2/year. Which of the following statements is best supported by the data?
a. Forest A has a higher rate of decomposition by bacteria than forest B.
b. Forest A has more biodiversity than forest B.
c. Forest A producers have lower rates of cellular respiration than forest B producers.
d. Forest A producers have more biomass than forest B producers.

Answer:

The answer is C.

Explanation:

Net Primary Productivity is a term that is used to express the difference between CO2 that is taken in by the plant with photosynthesis minus CO2 that the plant releases.

The two forest sites given in the example may not have the same biodiversity and the same species of plants so we can't be sure of option B.

Again for the same reasons, we can't be sure of option D because we do not know the specific plant species in each forest since they are in different areas.

Option A can be ruled out for the same reasons, the lack of information about the forest sites, since we do not know the death rate of the plants in either of the forests.

Option C can be true because forest A has a higher net primary productivity rate which can be an indication of lower respiratory activity hence lower CO2 production, resulting in the given higher net primary productivity.

I hope this answer helps.

Rain occurs because of moisture gathering higher in the atmosphere. The process that creates rain in the atmosphere has a variety of steps we don't see. This process is called the water cycle. This cycle is never ending, meaning that rain is a constant on the earth as long as there's an ocean or water on the earth.

Water vapor is an atmospheric moisture that is sometimes visible to the naked eye. Water vapor comes in the form of clouds, fog, mist, and dew. The process that creates water vapor is called evaporation, which is where water on the earth is heated to a temperature that makes water molecules spread out and begin to vibrate quicker. This creates water vapor.

The water vapor is commonly carried high into the atmosphere to create clouds. Once the vapor is in the atmosphere, it begins to lower in temperature. This causes condensation, which means the water vapor is reforming into water droplets.

Precipitation Takes place after this. Precipitation occurs when the water droplets are too heavy to carry in the atmosphere, so they drop back down to the earth. After this takes place, the entire process resets, and happens again.

Hope this helps!
