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

Differing amounts of solar radiation across earths latitude affects the ocean ____?
ch4aika [34]

<em>Differing amounts of solar radiation across earths latitude affects the ocean </em><u><em>Surface temperature </em></u>

Answer: <em>Surface temperature </em>

Explanation:

Since the Earth is round, the angle of the surface in respect to the approaching radiation varies with latitude. At low latitudes, close to the equator, direct overhead daylight got all year heats up surface waters.

At high latitudes, sea waters get less daylight – the poles get just 40 percent of the warmth that the equator does. In the sea, sun based energy is reflected in the upper surface or quickly consumed with depth, implying that the more depth into the sea you dive, the less sunlight there is.

This outcomes in less warming of the water. In this way, the deep ocean is relatively cold than the upper surface.

Farmers are growing more genetically modified crops. Which of the following questions BEST helps determine the benefit to
Doss [256]

Answer: The correct option is B.

Will genetically modified crops increase profit for farmers?

Explanation:

This is because genetically modified crops are produced to achieve a particular advantage. Genetically modified crops are produced with some traits that are beneficial to Agriculture. Farmers choose genetically modified crops in order to increase yield, and produced crops that are resistant to certain diseases. These genetically modified crops are produced because of the traits that increase crop yield when farmers plant them it will increase the profit of farmers.
