3. Using Math There are about 11,200,000 billion metric tons of O2 in the atmosphere.
Based on an estimated photosynthesis rate of 600 billion metric tons per year, how
many years might it have taken to reach current O2 levels? (Note: Assume for this
exercise that the rate of O2 production is constant even though it has changed over
time.)

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 . X 100 Insolation Energy In a rice paddy in Southeast Asia, the insolation energy is 6,000,000 calories/m2/day. 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. Find the efficiency of photosynthesis by the rice. Could you mostly help me set it up and find it? So I can learn how to do it.

Scientists at the Global Footprint Network calculate the energycomponent of our ecological footprint by estimating the amountof ecologically productive land and sea required to absorb thecarbon released from fossil fuel combustion. This translates into4.9 ha of the average American’s 7.2-ha ecological footprint.Another way to think about our footprint, however, is to estimatehow much land would be needed to grow biomass with anenergy content equal to that of the fossil fuel we burn.Assume that you are an average American who burns about6.3 metric tons of oil-equivalent in fossil fuels each year andthat average terrestrial net primary productivity (p. 32) can beexpressedas 0.0037 metric tons/ha/year. Calculate how manyhectares of land it would take to supply our fuel use by presentdayphotosynthetic production. Compare the energy component of your ecological footprintcalculated in this way with the 4.9 ha calculated usingthe method of the Global Footprint Network. Explainwhy results from…
