The amount of biomass product per unit area over a time period by plants during photosynthesis is called
A.Primary production – The amount of biomass product per unit area over a time period by plant during photosynthesis is called Primary production.
B.Net primary production - s the rate at which all the plants in an ecosystem produce net useful chemical energy; it is equal to the difference between the rate at which the plants in an ecosystem produce useful chemical energy (GPP) and the rate at which they use some of that energy during respiration.
C.Gross primary production - the amount of chemical energy as biomass that primary producers create in a given length of time
D.secondary production - the generation of biomass of heterotrophic (consumer) organisms in a system. This is driven by the transfer of organic material between trophic levels, and represents the quantity of new tissue created through the use of assimilated food.
So, the correct option is ‘ Primary production’.
