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.
What does the diagram represent here? I am having trouble understanding
Answer:
a. No discrepancy is present; organisms that contain an outer membrane and periplasmic space should stain pink because of their cell wall composition.
Explanation:
Gram stain is the staining method used to differentiate bacterial species into two groups, gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria. Factors that will differentiate gram-positive from gram-negative include the coloration of bacteria, the composition and chemical and physical properties of cell walls. In these tests, bacteria that have an outer membrane and a periplasmic space are considered gram negative and pink in color (sometimes similar to red) due to their cellular composition. For this reason we can state that there is no discrepancy present in the bacteria exposed in the question; Because this bacterium has an outer membrane and a periplasmic space, then it is normal for the bacteria to turn pink due to its cell wall composition.
