Question

Net primary productivity is the available biomass for the consumption to

• A. herbivores
• B. secondary consumers
• C. primary producers
• D. top carnivores

Answer 1

The correct option is A herbivores

The total organic matter synthesised by the producers in the process of photosynthesis per unit time and area is known as gross primary productivity. Net primary productivity is equal to the rate of organic matter created by photosynthesis minus the rate of respiration and other losses. It is actually the biomass available for consumption by the herbivores and decomposers.
