desert, open ocean, lake, tropical rain forest

Explanation:

The net primary productivity tells us about how productive an ecosystem is. It is usually derived by the difference between the amount of carbon dioxide that producers used to the amount they release during their cellular respiration.

  • The rainforest is the biome with the highest amount of net productivity.
  • The amount of sunlight and organic matter used up during photosynthesis is very large.
  • The tropical rain forest receives the highest amount of sunlight because the sun is overhead here.
  • This provides energy to drive photosynthetic process in the presence of other available resources.
  • Deserts are bare and lacks plants due to the extreme conditions here not favorable to life.
  • The open ocean productivity is restricted to the photic zone where light is only able to reach
  • Lakes are highly productive ecosystems.

Ugo [173]

Some bones develop within sheet like layers of connective tissue which are called intramembranous bones whereas the bones that are develop from a model of hyaline cartilage and are called endochondral bones.

<h3>Formation of intramembranous bones and endochondral bones</h3>

Endochondral ossification involves the replacement of hyaline cartilage with bony tissue which leads to the formation of endochondral bones whereas, intramembranous ossification refers to the replacement of sheet-like connective tissue membranes with bony tissue which results in the formation of intramembranous bones.

Chloroplast structure and function
Lana71 [14]

Answers:

A) The membranes of the Chloroplast are the  

1) Thylakoid membrane 2) Envelope membrane

B) Calvin cycle occurs within the stroma, while light reactions occur within the thylakoid membrane.

Explanation:

Generally, the chloroplast is made up of the; <u>Thylakoid membrane and Envelop membrane</u>. The thylakoid membrane is basically the region for light absorption, thus making it the site for light reactions within the chloroplast.  

Calvin cycle, which occurs in the stroma, involves light independent reactions. It occurs shortly after the light-dependent reactions, and further breaks down ATP and NADPH, products of the light reactions.

The stroma is located outside the thylakoid membrane.

For the remaining listed organelles:

1) The Cytosol- It’s the liquid space within the cell. The chloroplast can be found floating within the cytosol of any involved plant cell.

2) Thylakoid space- The space within the thylakoid.
