Answer:

The right answer is B. The muscle elevates and/or adducts a region.

Explanation:

Levator muscles are the muscles use to raise any region of the body. Like levator anguli oris which elevates the corner of the mouth, levator ani which is made up of many muscle sheets of iliococcygeus, puboretalis, and pubococcygeus muscles and holds pelvic viscera in their place.

Levators costarum during breathing helps in raising the ribs, levator palpebrae superioris have function in raising the eyelids and there are so many levator muscles are present in different places in the body which helps to elevate and/or adducts a region.

Therefore, the right answer is B. The muscle elevates and/or adducts a region.

The net annual primary productivity of a particular wetland ecosystem is found to be 8,000 kcal/m2 per year. If respiration by t
Yakvenalex [24]

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
