D) Secondary productivity

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Gross primary productivity is a measure of the total fixation of energy via photosynthesis, which is the process by which green plants and some other organisms use sunlight to synthesize foods with the help of chlorophyll. Primary productivity refers to the rate at which the energy is captured by producers, while gross primary productivity specifically measures the total amount of energy captured, without considering the energy lost through respiration. Rauto refers to the rate of respiration of an organism, and secondary productivity refers to the amount of energy stored in the biomass of heterotrophs (consumers) at a particular level in a food chain or web. Therefore, the best choice in this case would be C) Gross primary productivity.
