Answer:
<em>The total amount of energy transferred during photosynthesis for this ecosystem equals</em><em> 260,000 kcal/m2/yr.</em>
Explanation:
To answer this question, we need to know that
- gross primary productivity (GPP) = energy captured and converted into chemical energy during photosynthesis
- net primary productivity (NPP) = difference between GPP and respiration rate
So, to calculate GPP we need to sum NPP to Respiration rate. This if,
NPP = 165,000 kcal/m2/yr
R = 95,000 kcal/m2/yr
NPP = GPP – Respiration
Then,
GPP = NPP + R
GPP = 165,000 kcal/m2/yr + 95,000 kcal/m2/yr
GPP = 260,000 kcal/m2/yr
Because it can cause serious infections in the lungs, blood and our brains...It may also cause urinary tract and infections in wounds.
