Question

In an ecosystem the rate of production of organic matter by producers which is available to herbivores is?

Answer 1

Ecosystem

1. Gross Primary Productivity (GPP) is the rate of creation of organic matter (chemical energy) as biomass that primary producers (through photosynthesis) created in a specific amount of time which is available for herbivores.
2. An ecosystem is a place where plants, animals, and other organisms interact with the environment, weather, and other variables to form a bubble of life.
3. Gross primary productivity measures the pace of chemosynthesis or photosynthesis.
4. The difference between the pace at which plants in an ecosystem produce usable chemical energy (GPP) and the rate at which they consume some of that energy during respiration is known as net primary production, or NPP.
5. Various stages of the breakdown of organic materials lead to humus.
6. As primary producers use energy from the sun to create their own food in the form of glucose, energy travels from one trophic level, or level of the food chain, to the next.
7. Plants absorb nutrients through their roots. When main consumers eat the plants, the nutrients are transferred to them.
8. When higher-level consumers eat lower-level consumers, the nutrients are transferred. The cycle is repeated after death.
9. Primary producers are then consumed by primary consumers, who are in turn eaten by secondary consumers, and so on.
10. Carbon dioxide (CO₂), energy, water, plant nutrients, and newly formed organic carbon molecules are among the byproducts of decomposition.
