**Graph Analysis: Relative Solar Energy at Two Locations**

The graph displays relative solar energy at midday for two different locations, labeled A and B, over the course of one year. The goal is to determine how these variations affect the gross primary productivity (GPP) between the two locations.

**Description of the Graph**

- **Axes:** 
  - The vertical axis represents "relative solar energy."
  - The horizontal axis represents "month."

- **Curves:**
  - **Curve A (Blue):** This curve represents location A. The solar energy peaks around the mid-year and decreases towards the end of the year.
  - **Curve B (Red):** This curve represents location B. The solar energy is at its highest at the beginning and end of the year, creating a valley in the middle.

### Multiple Choice Question

**Question:**
Which statement accurately describes the differences in gross primary productivity between locations A and B? 

1. In December, GPP is greater for location B.
2. In October, GPP is greater in location B than in Location A.
3. GPP is the same for locations A and B throughout the entire year.
4. In March, GPP for location A is greater than the GPP for location B.

**Additional Question:**

In an aquatic ecosystem, 20,000 kcal/m²/year was absorbed by producers through the process of photosynthesis. If the net primary productivity (NPP) was 8,000 kcal/m²/year, how much energy was lost to respiration?

- Options: 
  - 28,000 kcal/m²/year
  - 12,000 kcal/m²/year
  - 1.6 kcal/m²/year
  - 0.4 kcal/m²/year

This educational content helps illustrate the relationship between solar energy availability and primary productivity in different ecosystems.
