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

1 answer:

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.

These are nucleotides that have a single ring structure. Example: Cytosine, Thymine, and Uracil

IgorLugansk [536]

Answer:

The question is incomplete.

However, I notice that your question is mainly dealing with

"Nucleotides with a single ring structure"

I tackled that part, also providing explanation to the point you focused on.

Explanation:

Nucleotides are compounds in which nitrogenous bases (purines and pyrimidines) are conjugated to the pentose sugars (ribose or deoxyribose) and at least one phosphate group. Thus a nucleotide consists of a nitrogenous base, pentose sugar and at least one phosphate group.

Examples of the nitrogenous bases are Adenine, Guanine, Thymine, Uracil and Cytosine. Of all, Thymine, Uracil and Cytosine are with single ring, while Adenine and Guanine are double ring structure.
