NPP
What does NPP stand for
Net primary production
What is one limiting factor for primary production in an aquatic system
Light or nutrients
During photosynthesis, ____ energy is converted into _____ energy
light, chemical
What is the percentage of energy that is transferred from trophic level to the next
10%
What were we measuring in the mini lab about NPP, GPP, and primary production?
dissolved 02
What does GPP stand for
Gross primary production
What is one limiting factor for primary production in a terrestrial system
Temperature, water, or nutrients
2 most productive biomes
Trop rainforest, estuaries, or coral reef
An easy way to get 10% of a number
What is a constant?
Variables kept the same
What does R stand for
Respiration
Free 300 points for the person/team that picked this box!
LOL!
2 least productive biomes
open ocean, tundra, desert
Why do we only get 10% passed down trophic levels?
Energy is not transferred from one object/organism to the next with 100% efficiency. The other 90% is used by the organism to carry out its life processes or it is lost to the environment.
Answer will vary
What is the equation for NPP?
NPP = GPP - R
Nutrients is a limiting factor for BOTH aquatic and terrestrial biomes? T/F
True
Primary production is the result of ____________
photosynthesis
Do decomposers also get 10% of the food they eat? T/F
True
The physics law that states not all energy is transferrable with 100% efficiency
2nd Law of Thermodynamics
State the difference between gross and net
Gross is total amount and net is left over
What is one limiting factor for secondary production?
Primary production, 2nd Law of Thermodynamics, water, nutrients, predation, or competition
