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

ross 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 g of salt marsh producers (the algae) is equivalent to 2,920 calories. Calculate the net primary productivity of the system, in g/m2/day.

Answer:

NPP = 26 g/m²/day

Explanation:

Important data:

• 1 m² = 10,000 cm²

• NPP = GPP - Respiration

• NPP= Net primary productivity of a system

• GPP= Gross productivity of the producers

Available Data:

• GPP = 0.0040 g/cm²/day

• Respiration rate = 35% of the gross primary productivity

We need to calculate the NPP, which equals GPP - Respiration rate.

The respiration rate is 35% of the GPP. This is:

100% GPP--------------- 0.004 g/cm²/day

35% GPP ----------------X = (35 x 0.004)/100 = 0.0014 g/cm²/day

Now that we know the values of GPP and respiration rate, we can calculate the NPP.

NPP = GPP - Respiration

NPP = 0.004 g/cm²/day - 0.0014 g/cm²/day

NPP = 0.0026 g/cm²/day

Now we also know the NPP, but this value is calculated in g/cm²/day, and we need to calculate it in g/m²/day, so if 1 m² = 10,000 cm², then:

1 cm²---------------- 0.0026 g/cm²/day

10,000cm²----------X = (10,000 x 0.0026)/1 = 26 g/m²/day

Which behavior can reduce pollution that occurs due to the use of coal?
mixas84 [53]

Answer:

A

Explanation:

Coal is majorly used to produces electricity. The coal is ignited and the heat produced used to heat water to steam. The steam is then used to drive turbines with a dynamo effect to produce electricity. Turning off lights when not in use reduces the demand for electricity hence reducing the amount of coal needed to meet this demand.

Other ways to conserve energy is using bulbs with low energy demand - such as LEDs - and  improving natural lighting indoors.

Alice's teacher has given her a cup of water. She needs to find the volume of the water. How can Alice find the volume of the wa
Leto [7]

Answer: A. Alice can pour the water into a graduated cylinder to find the volume

Explanation: If you put water into a graduated cylinder, you get accurate numbers. This helps with the equation because estimating isn't always the best way to go. Putting a ruler in the water wont help because you don't know what number the water started at before the displacement. The thermometer won't work either because that is used for temperature.
