Question
Chapter 55, Problem 11TYU
Summary Introduction
Introduction:
Net primary productivity (NPP) is the rate at which total amount of net useful chemical energy is produced from the amount of the carbon which is fixed. It can often be calculated by weighing the biomass of plant product.

Demonstrate the experiment to measure rate of transpiration by farmer's potometer.
There are wastes of four fruits peels; apple, orange, banana, and pineapple were used for this experiment. The percentage of biomass produced and moisture content were calculated by using the given formulas. It is given that the weight of each substrate is equal to 40 grams. The biomass produced is maximum in apple peel followed by banana peel, orange peel, and pineapple peel ( observation 1) and banana peel has highest moisture content followed by orange peel, pineapple peel, and apple peel (observation 2).
QUESTION:
Please give the clear explanation for both observations and justify your answer.
Different types of biomass resources can be converted to three desired formof energy. Show how heat, electricity and fuels can be produced fromvarious biomass resources using different conversion technologies.

- 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 .

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.
