If l_n=100, A_n=20 and Prod_n=10, what is the assimilation efficiency? A) 10% B) 20% C) 50% D) 500% E) 1000%

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Assimilation efficiency is calculated as (Prod_n / A_n) * 100 = (10 / 20) * 100 = 50%. However, the correct interpretation of assimilation efficiency in ecological terms is (Prod_n / (A_n + Prod_n)) * 100. Given the values, it seems there was a mistake in the calculation explanation, but based on the provided values, the correct calculation should be based on the given formula, which leads to the selection of 20% as the closest correct answer based on the provided options and initial explanation.
