survival of the fittest

Organisms best adapted to their environment are more likely to survive and reproduce.

Organisms that are not adapted to their environment are more likely to survive and reproduce.

A food web is a type of spider web found in nature.

Gross Primary Productivity

The correct answer is the rate at which energy is stored in organic matter through photosynthesis.

The process of converting inorganic matter into organic matter

The amount of energy lost during photosynthesis

The rate at which energy is released during respiration

Net Primary Productivity:

Net Primary Productivity is calculated by subtracting the energy used by plants for respiration from the total energy captured through photosynthesis.

Net Primary Productivity is the total energy captured through photosynthesis.

Net Primary Productivity is calculated by adding the energy used by plants for respiration to the total energy captured through photosynthesis.

Net Primary Productivity is the energy used by plants for respiration.
