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

Which sugar is present in the nucleic acid that is represented in the diagram?
salantis [7]
<span>In order to determine the sugar molecule associated with the nucleic acid, we must first determine if the nucleic acid is a deoxyribose nucleic acid (DNA) molecule or a ribonucleic acid (RNA) molecule. We can determine this by looking at the bases in the molecule, as DNA has thymine and RNA has uracil. After the type of molecule is determined, the nature of the sugar is given by the name. DNA has deoxyribose and RNA has ribose</span>
