The gross productivity of the rice is 0.02742g/cm^2/day, and 35% of the energy is lost due to respiration. There are 4000 calories in 1 gram of maize. Calculate the net primary productivity of the maize and the efficiency of photosynthesis of maize.

- Why is energy required for nutrient transport? Give an example of a system that transports nutrients and describe what source of energy is used to move the nutrients into the cell. Why can’t most organisms use the nitrogen gas that is so prevalent in the atmosphere? How do these organisms acquire a usable form of nitrogen?arrow_forwardSoil organic matter (SOM) samples have charge that is pH-dependent, and measurements for the cation-exchange capacities (CECS) of soil organic matter average around 150 cmol(+)/kg SOM at neutral pH. Meanwhile, smectite clay minerals have CECS that average approximately 100 cmol(+)/kg clay. Since these two phases are the dominant contributors to soil CEC, we can use SOM content and smectite content (if we can measure it) to estimate total soil CEC. What would be your estimate for the total CEC (in cmol(+)/kg soil, to the nearest 0.1 cmol(+)/kg soil) of a soil that contained 3.28 % SOM and 1.0 % smectite clay by weight?arrow_forwardTrace the route of the nutrients NH4+, NO3-, and PO43-, carried by river runoff to a seagrass ecosystem.
