Gross Primary Productivity (GPP) is the total energy captured by producers, while Net Primary Productivity (NPP) is the energy that remains after producers use energy for respiration.
Step 1: Typically, GPP is higher than NPP, as some of the energy is used for respiration.
Step 2: Energy decreases at each trophic level due to losses in respiration and metabolic activities. If NPP at the first trophic level is 100x, then the GPP at the third level is typically around 10x.
Thus, the correct answer is (3) 10x kcal m−2 yr−1.
List-I (Concepts) | List-II (Explanation) |
---|---|
(A) Standing state | (IV) Amount of mineral nutrients in the soil at a given time |
(B) Secondary productivity | (II) Rate of formation of organic matter by consumers |
(C) Standing crop | (III) Mass of living matter in a trophic level at a given time |
(D) Net primary productivity | (I) Available biomass for the consumption of heterotrophs |
Given below are two statements: one is labelled as Assertion A and the other is labelled as Reason R.
Assertion A : The potential (V) at any axial point, at 2 m distance(r) from the centre of the dipole of dipole moment vector
\(\vec{P}\) of magnitude, 4 × 10-6 C m, is ± 9 × 103 V.
(Take \(\frac{1}{4\pi\epsilon_0}=9\times10^9\) SI units)
Reason R : \(V=±\frac{2P}{4\pi \epsilon_0r^2}\), where r is the distance of any axial point, situated at 2 m from the centre of the dipole.
In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below :
