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.

It is the effect of various factors that influence the growth of a population in an area B.) It includes biotic (density dependent) and abiotic (density independent) factors C.) It allows a population to grow at its biotic potential: D.) It determines the carrying capacity of the habitat concerned . 2.) Identify the statement about per capita growth rate that is not correct. A.) It does not depend on the period for which the population is under consideration. B.) It is used to compare populations of the same species but of different sizes. C.) It is independent of the initial size of population under study. D.) The change in population size can be expressed as the rate of change per individual in terms capita growth rate. 3.) Biotic potential is the highest possible per capita growth rate for a population. Which of the following would limit…
