Answer:

D.20,000

Explanation:

The Gross Annual Primary Productivity for the wetland ecosystem is the amount of carbon taken up by the aquatic producers through photosynthesis.  

Given that: Net Annual Primary Producer is 8,000 kcal/m2 per year, and respiration by the aquatic producers is 12,000 kcal/m2 per year, using the formula NPP = GPP – Respiration, we can determine the Gross Annual Primary Productivity of the wetland ecosystem.

NNP = 8,000 kcal/m2

Respiration = 12,000 kcal/m2

GPP = x

8,000 = x – 12,000 (NPP = GPP – Respiration)

Solve for x:

x = 8,000 + 12,000

x = 20,000 kcal/m2 per year

GPP = 20,000 kcal/m2 per year

The tropopause is _____.
umka2103 [35]

Going upward from the surface, it is the point where air ceases to cool with height, and becomes almost completely dry. More formally, the tropopause is the region of the atmosphere where the environmental lapse rate changes from positive, as it behaves in the troposphere, to the stratospheric negative one. Following is the exact definition used by the World Meteorological Organization:

The boundary between the troposphere and the stratosphere, where an abrupt change in lapse rate usually occurs. It is defined as the lowest level at which the lapse rate decreases to 2 °C/km or less, provided that the average lapse rate between this level and all higher levels within 2 km does not exceed 2 °C/km.<span>[1] for example</span>

FILL IN THE BLANKS: Gametes are produced by meiosis, which are either __________ or _________.
erik [133]

Explanation:

Meiosis produces haploid gametes (ova or sperm) that contain one set of 23 chromosomes. When two gametes (an egg and a sperm) fuse, the resulting zygote is once again diploid, with the mother and father each contributing 23 chromosomes.
