They are living organisms. Not a very good question is there more to it
I just took the test this would be the correct answer.
In the Precipitation Map of Washington, the dark orange section indicates low rainfall in the region. Using the Shaded Relief Map of Washington, you can tell that this area is flat, possibly a plain. These regions typically don't receive a lot of rain. The Precipitation Map of Washington has areas that are dark purple and dark green. This indicates that they both receive a lot of rainfall every year. If you look at these areas on the Shaded Relief Map of Washington, you can tell that these areas with a lot of rainfall are mountainous.
On the Precipitation Map of Washington, purple/blue means more rain, and orange/red means less rain. The Shaded Relief Map of Washington shows mountains (brown), valleys, plateaus, and canyons. Areas that are flat are smooth on the map. Areas with steep slopes and mountains look rougher.
Explanation: This was on my feedback from the test as possible answers.
Answer:
D.20,000
Explanation:
The Gross Annual Primary Productivity for the wetland ecosystem is the amount of carbon taken up by the aquatic producers through photosynthesis.
Given that: Net Annual Primary Producer is 8,000 kcal/m2 per year, and respiration by the aquatic producers is 12,000 kcal/m2 per year, using the formula NPP = GPP – Respiration, we can determine the Gross Annual Primary Productivity of the wetland ecosystem.
NNP = 8,000 kcal/m2
Respiration = 12,000 kcal/m2
GPP = x
8,000 = x – 12,000 (NPP = GPP – Respiration)
Solve for x:
x = 8,000 + 12,000
x = 20,000 kcal/m2 per year
GPP = 20,000 kcal/m2 per year
