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 brain structure functions to control the automatic nervous system and to regulate body temperature ?
olga2289 [7]

Brain structure that controls the autonomic nervous system is the hypothalamus of the brain. It is located on lower part of the top end of the brain stem. The hypothalamus specifically important for maintaining homeostasis, the proper balance of the body’s internal environment such as body temperature, blood sugar, breathing. Thus, the hypothalamus maintains homeostasis by controlling the autonomic nervous system.

Evolution reinforcement
Alecsey [184]

Answer:

Reinforcement is the process by which natural selection increases reproductive isolation. Reinforcement can occur as follows: When two populations which have been kept apart, come back into contact, the reproductive isolation between them might be complete or incomplete. If it is complete, speciation has occurred.

Which statement is true of recessive sex-linked traits such as color blindness ?
Korolek [52]

Answer:

colorblidness is carried on the X cromasome. since it is resessive it can be covered up. woman have 2 X cromasomes so both have to have it or she wont be color blind. men only have one X cromasome so its more likely that their just one X can have it
