Document Summary

Net primary production is constrained by both physical and biotic environmental factors. Energy in ecosystems originates with primary production by autotrophs. Primary production = source of energy for all organisms. Account for the largest movement of co2 between earth and its atmosphere a) Rate of primary production is measured in terms of carbon storage. Gross primary production (gpp) is total ecosystem photosynthesis i) ii) Looking down on a plant and seeing how much area of ground you see. Can increase leaf area index by having more leaves or bigger leaves. Lai in a tropical forest can be 1200% and yet light still reaches the forest floor. Layer 1 = 1 emergent trees at top of canopy. Less and less light gets through the upper layers. Only see 15 layer in tropics, not enough solar energy here b) Net primary production (npp) is the energy remaining after respiratory (r)losses.

When heterotrophs eat autotrophs they use catabolism to break down glucose to make ATP and waste carbon is released as ___________. b. There is plenty of nitrogen available in the atmosphere but it is not accessible to organisms because it is in the form of Nitrogen gas (N2). N2 is fixed by [bacteria/plants/animals] and converted to ammonia (NH3.) NH3 can be used by [bacteria/plants/animals] to build their cells. Next, by consuming food with amino acids,[bacteria/plants/animals] can get access to nitrogen for their own cellular needs. c. There is also a good quantity of sulfur in dirt, rocks, and the atmosphere. Sulfur cycles between H2S => S0 => SO4 => SH groups in Proteins => back to H2S.Using _________________ respiration, anoxygenic photosynthesis, and chemolithoautotrophy [bacteria/plants/animals]convert H2S and S0 to SO4 which is taken in by [bacteria/plants/animals] and used to build their cells.
