In a corn field in Oklahoma, the net primary productivity is 150 grams/m2/day and the respiration loss is 33.3 percent. The insolation energy is 950 calories/cm2/day and one gram of corn is equivalent to 1700 calories. Find the gross productivity of the corn. Using the NPP, calculate the efficiency of photosynthesis for the corn.
A bird eats sunflower seeds from a bird feeder on a snowy day. Of the 1000 J of energy that was in the consumed seeds, the bird stored 10 J of energy in its body, eliminated 150 J of energy in its waste, and used the remaining energy to respire. What is the production efficiency of this bird? Useful equation: PE = Pn/An x 100
Which of the following scenarios best illustrates Liebig's Law of the Minimum? Group of answer choices A plant experiencing rapid growth after a sudden increase in nitrogen levels, despite having low levels of other nutrients A plant growing in nutrient-rich soil with abundant sunlight and water but showing stunted growth due to a lack of phosphorus A plant thriving in an environment where all nutrients are equally abundant but with variable water supply A plant exhibiting consistent growth rates regardless of fluctuations in nutrient availability
(3) Based upon what we have read, all of the following are potential negative effects of our concentration on growing biofuels (e.g. corn for ethanol production) except: (a) Disappearing Brazilian rainforest used for growing corn (b) Destruction of natural petroleum reservoirs beneath the Alaskan National Wildlife Reserve (c) Decreased resources to fight famine in Africa and other impoverished areas in the world (d) National focus to find or develop practical resources for future energy production

Nutrient Nitrogen Phosphorus (a) (b) mg nutrient/g of algae Available, mg/L 0.62 80 6.9 0.15 What percent reduction in nitrogen is needed to control algal production to 1.0 mg/L? What percent reduction in phosphorus is needed to control algal production to 1.0 mg/L?
AP Environmental Science Primary Productivity Problems Net Primary Productivity efficiency can be calculated for terrestrial producers when values for insolation energy, respiration loss and gross productivity are known. Use the equations below to answer the following problems: Net Primary Productivity = Gross Productivity – Respiration Loss Efficiency = . NPP . X 100 Insolation Energy In a rice paddy in Southeast Asia, the insolation energy is 6,000,000 calories/m2/day. The gross productivity of the rice is 0.012 grams/cm2/day, and the respiration loss is 20 percent. One gram of rice is equivalent to 1000 calories. Calculate the net primary productivity of the rice. Find the efficiency of photosynthesis by the rice. Could you mostly help me set it up and find it? So I can learn how to do it.
In the processes of photosynthesis and cellular respiration, carbon is cycled between all major spheres on Earth. Plants obtain carbon dioxide from the atmosphere as one reactant to conduct photosynthesis. Carbon dioxide is produced by organisms as a result of carrying out cellular respiration. Activity 1 Which claim is correct about the cycling of matter and the flow of energy in the carbon cycle? A. In the ecosystem, matter flows and energy cycles. B. In an ecosystem, both matter and energy cycle. C. In an ecosystem, matter cycles and energy flows. D. In an ecosystem, both matter and energy flow.
In the context of decomposition, we can calculate a k-value. This tells us the amount of time until no substrate remains during decomposition the rate at which energy is cycled in an ecosystem the rate at which the decomposition of a substrate takes place () the rate at which decomposer populations grow the remaining mass of a substrate after a decomposition experiment
