In a salt marsh in Georgia, the quantity of solar radiation reaching the ground during the summer is 7,000,000cal/m2/day. The gr

oss productivity of the producers in the salt marsh (mostly microscopic algae) is 0.0040 g/cm2/day. The average rate of respiration (the respiration requirement) is 35% of the gross primary productivity. Ecologists have found that 1 gram of salt marsh producers (the algae) is equivalent to 2,920 calories. Calculate the efficiency of photosynthesis.?

Answer:

\mathtt{The \ efficiency \ of  \ photosynthesis =1.08 \%}

Explanation:

Given that:

the quantity of solar radiation = 7,000,000cal/m²/day

The producers' gross productivity in the salt marsh (mostly microscopic algae) is 0.0040 g/cm²/day.

= 0.004 × 2920 cal × 10000 m²/ day

= 116800 cal/m²/day

The respiration requirement is 35% of the gross primary productivity.

i.e  35% of 116800 calories/m²/day

=\dfrac{ 35}{ 100 }\times 116800 calories/m²/day

= 40880 calories/m²/day

The Net primary productivity  NPP = Gross productivity - Respiration  requirement

=( 116800 - 40880) calories/m²/day

= 75920 calories/m²/day

We can calculate the efficiency of photosynthesis by using the formula:

\mathtt{The \ efficiency \ of  \ photosynthesis = \dfrac{ Net \ primary \ productivity \ NPP}{quantity  \ of \ solar \ radation} \times 100\%}

\mathtt{The \ efficiency \ of  \ photosynthesis = \dfrac{ 75920 \  cal/m^2/day}{7000000 \ cal/m^2/day} \times 100\%}

\mathtt{The \ efficiency \ of  \ photosynthesis =1.08 \%}

What is the rationale behind document 1 (usability testing)?
gladu [14]

The  rationale behind usability testing is that getting input from real users at the beginning of a project is essential to the design process.

<h3>What is the rationale behind usability testing?</h3>

The primary aim of a usability test is so as to make better a design.

Note that in any usability test, real users are made to try and cary out or accomplish some goals, or tasks, via the use of a product under some controlled conditions.

Therefore, The  rationale behind usability testing is that getting input from real users at the beginning of a project is essential to the design process.

The spirit of Saint Benedict's Rule is summed up in the motto of the Benedictine Confederation: pax ("peace") and the traditional ora et labora ("pray and work"). Compared to other precepts, the Rule provides a moderate path between individual zeal and formulaic institutionalism; because of this middle ground it has been widely popular. Benedict's concerns were the needs of monks in a community environment: namely, to establish due order, to foster an understanding of the relational nature of human beings, and to provide a spiritual father to support and strengthen the individual's ascetic effort and the spiritual growth that is required for the fulfillment of the human vocation, theosis.

The Rule of Saint Benedict has been used by Benedictines for 15 centuries, and thus St. Benedict is sometimes regarded as the founder of Western monasticism due to reform that his rules had on the current Catholic hierarchy.[2] There is, however, no evidence to suggest that Benedict intended to found a religious order in the modern sense and it was not until the Late Middle Ages that mention was made of an "Order of Saint Benedict". His Rule was written as a guide for individual, autonomous communities, and all Benedictine Houses (and the Congregations in which they have grouped themselves) still remain self-governing. Advantages seen in retaining this unique Benedictine emphasis on autonomy include cultivating models of tightly bonded communities and contemplative lifestyles. Perceived disadvantages comprise geographical isolation from important activities in adjacent communities. Other perceived losses include inefficiency and lack of mobility in the service of others, and insufficient appeal to potential members. These different emphases emerged within the framework of the Rule in the course of history and are to some extent present within the Benedictine Confederation and the Cistercian Orders of the Common and the Strict Observance.
