In general, NPP is not correlated with annual temperature. False. NPP (Net Primary Productivity) is the amount of energy that is produced by plants through photosynthesis. Temperature is one of the key factors that affects the rate of photosynthesis, so there is Show more…

6. For each of the following statements indicate if they are True or false about the energy pyramids: - Energy spent on cellular respiration is available to higher trophic levels. - Energy used in the production of offspring is available to higher trophic levels. - Energy contained in feces is available to higher trophic levels. - Between 10% and 20% of the energy is lost between most trophic levels. - Productivity increases with each trophic level. - Between 80% and 90% of the energy is lost between most trophic levels. - Autotrophs typically capture about 90% of the available energy from the sun through photosynthesis.

24. The transfer of energy in food chains is a highly efficient process. This statement is: a. True, the percent of energy that is transferred from trophic level to trophic level is 100%. b. False, because there is no way to measure efficiency in a food chain. c. False, because a large amount of energy is used metabolically and dissipated as heat. d. True, because only a highly efficient process can guarantee life on the planet. 25. Which of the following premises represents an action that can reduce the greenhouse effect on our planet? a. Destroying the ozone cape. b. Using more coal and less oil. c. Planting more trees or reforesting. d. Multiplying with each other. 26. Suppose that a toxic substance is released into the environment for a long time and is incorporated into food chains, at which of the following trophic levels would we find a higher concentration of the toxic? a. Primary consumer. b. Producers. c. Tertiary consumer. d. Secondary consumer. 27. Choose the alternative that includes the following levels of biological organization ordered from least to greatest complexity. a. Community → population → ecosystem → biosphere. b. Population → community → ecosystem → biosphere. c. Community → population → biosphere → ecosystem. d. Population → community → biosphere → ecosystem.
