The net primary production of a pine forest on a lava flow on Mount Fuji is about 165,000 kcal/m2/yr, and the plant respiration

is estimated to be 95,000 kcal/m2/yr. What is the total amount of energy transferred during photosynthesis for this ecosystem?

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

Reil [10]

Answer:

Direct.

Explanation:

An information system can be defined as a set of components or computer systems, which is used to collect, store, and process data, as well as dissemination of information, knowledge, and distribution of digital products.

Generally, it is an integral part of human life because individuals, organizations, and institutions rely on information systems in order to perform their duties, functions or tasks and to manage their operations effectively. For example, all organizations make use of information systems for supply chain management, process financial accounts, manage their workforce, and as a marketing channels to reach their customers or potential customers.

Additionally, an information system comprises of five (5) main components;

1. Hardware.

2. Software.

3. Database.

4. Human resources.

5. Telecommunications.

Hence, an information system interacts with the overall system by receiving data in its raw forms and information in a usable format.

In this scenario, Mother Goose Computing, Inc. are currently updating several of their systems. For the genomics division, it's planning to replace the old system by the new one all at once. Thus, this is called a direct conversion.

Direct conversion can be defined as a process which typically involves the establishment and implementation of a new system followed by an immediate discontinuation of the old system all at once. Thus, on a particular date and time, the old system would be discontinued while the new system is immediately adopted for use in the particular organization.

8_murik_8 [283]

Answer:

read the explanation.

Explanation:

Both are enzymes, both has active sites because they are enzymes. A difference is that serine proteases has serine aminoacids in it active site. The aspartic proteases has an activated water molecule bond to one or more aspartate aminoacid in its active site.

Serine proteases are two main kinds, chymotrypsin and subtilisin kind. Aspartic proteases are three main kinds, pepsin, cathepsin and renins.

Serine proteases are found either in eukaryotes and prokaryotes, meanwhile the aspartic proteases are found mainly in eukaryotes as molds and yeast but rarely in prokaryotes such as bacteria.

Hope this info is useful.
