Concept explainers
(a)
To determine: The other variable needs to known for calculating the net ecosystem production (NEP) if the NPP is known.
Concept introduction: Net ecosystem production (NEP) is the gross production remain after the loss of total respiration of all the organisms in the system, on the other hand the NPP can be expressed as the amount of novel biomass added by producers in that time.
(b)
To determine: Why it is difficult to measure a variable that involves in net ecosystem production (NEP) ocean.
Concept introduction: Net ecosystem production (NEP) is the gross production remain after the loss of total respiration of all the organisms in the system, on the other hand the NPP can be expressed as the amount of novel biomass added by producers in that time.

- Pick a small area of the cell (NOT THE ENTIRE CELL!) and label and show the following:a. An Na+ gradient (show where Na+ is high and low). Use a triangle to show the gradient from high to low as in the various worksheets for all gradientsb. An K+ gradient (show where K+ is high and low)c. An H+ gradient (show where H+ is high and low)d) For each of the gradients, sketch the location of the protein or proteins that create the gradient and ANY associated reactions that occurarrow_forwardCreate a line weaver burke plot from the following data.arrow_forwardCan I get this rewritten While the surface area of an organism scales as a square of the length (L^2) and the volume of an organism increases as the cube of the length (V^3), basal metabolic rate is not affected by the ratio of surface area to length of an organism.This can be seen in the data extracted from the ADW Quardvaark database as well which showed that mammals had an R^2 value of 0.7258 when looking at their length and basal metabolic rate and an R^2 value of 0.0074 when looking at the length of mammals and their length-specific basal metabolic rate. Birds had an R^2 value of 0.1678 when looking at their length and basal metabolic rate and an R^2 value of 0.0021 when looking at the length and length-specific basal metabolic rate of birds.arrow_forward

If the diffusion coefficient, D, of a small protein is 5 x 10^-10 m2 s-1, how long (on average) does ittake for the protein to diffuse across a parasitic wasp that is 189 um long ?arrow_forwardIn an experiment design to test the effects of outboard motor oil on the growth of algae, identify the control, the independent variable, and the dependent variables. Construct a simple hypothesis.arrow_forwardLooking at the chart, Tell: a) What is (are) the indepednent variables? Which is the appropriate axis for this variable? b) What is the dependent variable? Which is the appropriate axis for this variable? c) Choose an appropriate scale and label the x and y axes. Should you use a legend? If so, what would this include?arrow_forward
- T or farrow_forwardChronic exposure to neonicotinoids reduces honey bee health near corn crops Experiments linking neonicotinoids and declining bee health have been criticized for not simulating realistic exposure. Here we quantified the duration and magnitude of neonicotinoid exposure in Canada's corn-growing regions and used these data to design realistic experiments to investigate the effect of such insecticides on honey bees. Colonies near corn were naturally exposed to neonicotinoids for up to 4 months - the majority of the honey bee's active season. Realistic experiments showed that neonicotinoids increased worker mortality and were associated with declines in social immunity and increased queenlessness over time. We also discovered that the acute toxicity of neonicotinoids to honey bees doubles in the presence of a commonly encountered fungicide. Our work demonstrates that field-realistic exposure to neonicotinoids can reduce honey bee health in corn-growing regions. Which of the following…arrow_forwardIf locus F is 11 cMorgans from locus H and locus H is 44 cMorgans from locus E, determine the distance (in cMorgans) from locus F to locus E?
