Why algae in the ocean can have a very high NPP and a very low amount of stored biomass

Biology
1 answer:
USPshnik [31]3 years ago
7 0
The algae in the ocean have a very high Net Primary Productivity (NPP) and a very low amount of store biomass. This is because THE GROWTH RATE OF ALGAE IN THE OCEAN IS HIGH. The store biomass is low because THE PRIMARY CONSUMERS FEED ON THESE ALGAE THUS LOWERING THE BIOMASS AMOUNT. The production of biomass is related to the NPP.

How would increased chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) in the atmosphere affect the growth of vegetation throughout the world?
suter [353]
Ultraviolet light will increase on earth's surface. It will "raise" temperatures and decrease plant populations.
Actually UV rays do not increase temperature, that's wrong.
They cause mutations in several organisms as they modify their DNA. They also cause skin cancer in humans and also cataracts and sunburns.
But they don't increase temperature.
That's carbon dioxide accumulation.

Glycolysis is a metabolic pathway that converts glucose into pyruvate and is observed in each of the three domains. The hexokina
jek_recluse [69]

Answer: True

Explanation:

Glycol= sugar

Lysis = break

Glycolysis is the first of the three stages of cellular respiration.

In this step, 6-carbon glucose is broken apart into two 3-carbon molecules called pyruvate.

Now this occurs in three stages

• The first stage being that in which the conversion of glucose into fructose 1, 6- bisphosphate, consists of three steps: a phosphorylation, an isomerization, and a second phosphorylation reaction.

In glycolysis, hexokinase is an enzyme whose substrate is glucose and its most important by-product is glucose 6-phosphate.

This enzyme involves in phosphorylation of a six-carbon sugar, a hexose, to make a hexose phosphate in glycolysis.
