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

Which type of muscle cell propels substances or objects through internal passageways? skeletal. cardiac. smooth. striated.
Naddik [55]

Answer:

Smooth muscle

Explanation:

  • The smooth muscle is one of the three types of muscle present in the human body and other animals.
  • The smooth muscle is called smooth because of its smooth appearance without any striations in its structure.
  • The smooth muscle is made of the spindle-shaped cells characterized by a single nucleus.
  • The smooth muscle cells are controlled by the autonomic nervous system and therefore is involuntary in its action.

The smooth muscle is present in the hollow organs and propels the substances through these hollow internal passages like in the alimentary canal of the digestive tract and urinary bladder.

Thus, the Smooth muscle is correct.
