I’m not sure how to answer this difficult question can you please help the answer? Ecosystem ecology is often concerned with both energetics and materials as keyaspects of ecological dynamics. These differ in that:O From sunlight that is fixed by a plant through photosynthesis, the energy may be used byany organism in the food web, while nitrogen is only used by plants.O From sunlight that is fixed by a plant through photosynthesis, the energy can only be usedonce after which it is lost as work and heat. The nitrogen a plant acquires from the soil isused for making plant or consumer tissue only once.O From sunlight that is fixed by a plant through photosynthesis, the energy can only be usedonce after which it is lost as work and heat. The nitrogen a plant acquires from the soil canbe used in plant tissue, used by consumers, returned to the soil, and reacquired by theplant multiple times.O From sunlight that is fixed by a plant through photosynthesis, energy can be used multipletimes throughout a food web. The nitrogen a plant acquires from the soil can be used inplant tissue, used by consumers, returned to the soil, and reacquired by the plant multipletimes.

You are studying primary productivity and biodiversity patterns of an ecosystem. The ecosystem is represented by the climatograph below. The Gross Primary Productivity (GPP) is measured to be 5000 grams of carbon per square meter per year, and the Total Respiration (RT) is measured to be 300 grams of carbon per square meter per year. - What kind of biome is this? - Calculate the Net Ecosystem Production (NEP) for this ecosystem - What does the calculated NEP value indicate about the carbon balance and overall productivity of the ecosystem? (one sentence) - Based on both the climatograph and the NEP, what can you say about the biodiversity of plants versus consumers? Choice 1 of 4:plant biodiversity is greater than consumer biodiversity Choice 2 of 4:consumer biodiversity is greater than plant biodiversity Choice 3 of 4:consumer biodiversity is the same as plant biodiversity Choice 4 of 4:lower plant biodiversity compared to consumer biodiversity
Whichstatement about changing ecosystem properties during succession is false?a.Biomass increasesb.Community respiration increasesc.Primary production increasesd.Soil depths decreasee.Stream spiraling lengths decrease
Net primary productivity refers to the rate of energy storage as organic matter by autotrophs after respiration is deducted the total rate of photosynthesis, or energy assimilated, by autotrophs the amount of accumulated organic matter found in an area at a given time the production of new tissues and offspring by heterotrophs
Questiion: A given ecosystem has the following amounts of energy available at each trophic level: Primary producers: 3,000 gC/m2/day; Primary consumers: 450 gC/m2/day; Secondary consumers: 45 gC/m2/day; Tertiary consumers: 2.25 gC/m2/day. Does this ecosystem follow Lindeman’s Law for ecological efficiency? A- No, the average efficiency is 20% B- Yes, the average efficiency is 20% C- Yes, the average efficiency is 10% D- No, the average efficiency is 10%
ecosystem A has primary production of 2000 g c/m2/yr and ecological efficiency of 10%.Ecosystem B has prim,ary production of 300 g/m2/yr.and the ecological efficiency of 15%.If a tropic level requires at least 1 gc/m2/yr to nexist how many tropic levels can each of these ecosystems support?
Which of the following is true about energy flow in ecosystems on Earth? 99% of energy that reaches the earth is used to drive the process of photosynthesis Only about 10% of energy is moved from one trophic level to the next, while the remaining is lost as heat A very small amount of solar radiation that reaches the earth is scattered or reflected The Law of Conservation of Energy states that energy cannot be destroyed, but it can be created in plants
The study on Global Ecology shows that USA uses 10.3 ha per indiviual but has only 6.7 ha per citizen available. The worlds population is now 7 billion and the globe as a whole has 1.7 ha for each person. Discuss in view of the above scenerio the question; 'Can our current habits of energy and resources use be sustained?'
Also from the biological standpoint, several types of ECOSYSTEM and their corresponding components are distinguished. Select one type of these ecosystems that you can find near your place of residence. Identify that specific type of ecosystem. Categorize the component organisms present ONLY in that particular ecosystem. Using these representative organisms (those given in 2b above), make a diagram to clearly illustrate a food web to show the flow of energy in that ecosystem.
