Write an equation here that shows the relationship between gross and net primary production.

Biology
1 answer:
Sindrei [870]4 years ago
7 0

Answer:

Net Primary Production = Gross Primary Production - Respiration

Explanation:

  1. <u>Gross Primary Production (GPP)</u> = The total amount of chemical energy that is expressed as carbon biomass created by primary producers in unit time.
  2. <u>Respiration (R)</u> = A fraction of fixed amount of energy that is used by primary producers for the cellular respiration and maintenance of existing tissues.
  3. <u>Net Primary Production (NPP)</u> = The remaining amount of the fixed energy.

Therefore, the equation that shows the relationship between gross and net primary production is,

<em>Net Primary Production (NPP) = Gross Primary Production (GPP) - Respiration (R)</em>

Net primary production is the amount of energy that remains behind after the consumption of some fraction of energy in respiration from the gross primary production.

Answer:

C) Breaking down inorganic compounds

Producers are plants, they break inorganic compound such as carbon dioxide, water etc and get their food .some plants lack Chlorophyll hence they are not able to do Photosynthesis and can not make their own food. they are either depend on other green plants or use other mode of nutrition like parasitic .

Why is the modeling of ozone layer depletion more accepted than modeling for global warming?
tekilochka [14]

Ozone layer depletion is not a major cause of climate change. Global warming will be more significant contributor of climate change on earth.

<h3>What is ozone layer depletion and global warming?</h3>

Ozone layer depletion is the thinning of the ozone layer present in the upper atmosphere. This happens when ozone molecules interact with atmospheric chlorine and bromine atoms and break down. One chlorine molecule is capable of destroying one ozone molecule. It is not produced as quickly as it is destroyed.

The phenomenon of rising average air temperatures close to the surface of the Earth over the previous one to two centuries is known as global warming. This change has disturbed the climatic pattern of the earth. The burning of fossil fuels, logging of forests, and raising of livestock all have a rising impact on the climate and temperature of the planet. This increases the greenhouse effect and causes global warming by adding a significant amount of greenhouse gases to those that are already present in the atmosphere.

Ozone layer depletion is more acceptable than global warming because global warming is more responsible for the climate change in the earth, it traps huge amount of gases which rise the earth's temperature. Climate change may not primarily be caused by the ozone hole. Although a larger ozone hole does not contribute to global warming, the presence of ozone, a greenhouse gas, has a warming impact. The ozone hole itself has a minor cooling effect (about 2 % of the warming effect of greenhouses gases) because ozone in the stratosphere absorbs heat radiated to space by gases in a lower layer of Earth’s atmosphere. A small amount of heat can escape from that area into space as a result of the loss of ozone.

How has modern humans<br> ecological footprint caused a Tragedy of the Commons?
Anastasy [175]

Answer and Explanation:

The ecological footprint is an indicator of sustainability at an international level that integrates all the human impacts over the environment, considering the necessary resources and the generated residues to maintain the modern consumption model.  It refers to the productive ecological surface needed to produce resources to consume by one person and to absorb the residues that are produced.

By constant contamination and indiscriminately use of natural resources the impact generated by human in the earth is unmeasurable.

The tragedy of the commons refers to how some people, acting by their own needs or interests, may exceed the use of natural resources, affecting their population and, therefore, other users. These individuals over explode resources thinking only in the present, but not in the future.

The ecological footprint as an indicator makes visible the unsustainable lifestyle of human beings, especially those of the first world. If this lifestyle would project to the rest of the world equally, natural resources would completely disappear. More developed countries are over contaminating and over exploding natural resources, affecting other countries of the third world, and even themselves.
