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

Answer:

Option A. can reproduce by budding.

Explanation:

Sponges is a multicellular organism which consists of pores that allows water to move through the body. Sponges belongs to kingdom animalia and phylum porifera. Sponges can reproduce by budding.

AnnZ [28]

Answer:

The correct answer is a. sugar

Explanation:

Even though caffeine is also known for uprising the energy levels to a point where it could cause insomnia, the excess of sugar usually causes an increase in heart rate and insomnia. Also, coca-cola has a bigger amount of sugar than caffeine, so it explains how these high quantities could affect Xi's health.

Label the main steps in the cellular respiration model?
Angelina_Jolie [31]

Step 1: Glycolysis. In glycolysis, glucose—a six-carbon sugar—undergoes a series of chemical transformations. In the end, it gets converted into two molecules of pyruvate, a three-carbon organic molecule. In these reactions, ATP is made, and \text{NAD}^+NAD  +  N, A, D, superscript is converted to {NADH}NADHN, A, D, H.

Step 2:Pyruvate oxidation. Each pyruvate from glycolysis goes into the mitochondrial matrix—the innermost compartment of mitochondria. There, it’s converted into a two-carbon molecule bound to Co-enzyme A, known as acetyl CoA. Carbon dioxide is released and NADH is generated.

Step 3:Citric acid cycle. The acetyl CoA made in the last step combines with a four carbon molecule and goes through a cycle or reaction, ultimately regenerating the four carbon starting molecule.
