Question 2 (Multiple Choice Worth 3 Points) 

(01.04 MC)

Which statement best describes how deep-sea (~100 m) producers

differ from other producers?

Deep-sea producers must generate twice as much energy due to


larger consumers nearby.

Deep-sea producers must absorb twice as much energy due to


higher productivity rates in the area.

Deep-sea producers have adapted mechanisms to conduct


photosynthesis with less visible light.

Deep-sea producers have adapted to conduct respiration instead


of photosynthesis due to lack of light.

Question 3 (Multiple Choice Worth 3 Points) 

(01.04 MC)

The net annual primary productivity of a particular wetland ecosystem

is found to be 6,000 kcal/m2/yr. If respiration by the aquatic producers
is 10,000 kcal/m2/yr, what is the gross annual primary productivity for
this ecosystem, in kcal/m2/yr?

4,000 kcal/m2/yr 

6,000 kcal/m2/yr 

10,000 kcal/m2/yr 

16,000 kcal/m2/yr 

(01.04 MC)

Which of the following is true of photosynthesis but not of cellular

respiration?

Photosynthesis occurs in all organisms. 

Photosynthesis requires glucose as a reactant. 

Photosynthesis releases oxygen gas as a product. 

Photosynthesis is a process in which glucose is broken down. 

Question 5 (Multiple Choice Worth 3 Points) 

(01.04 MC)

What is the net primary productivity of an algal bed if the gross

primary productivity in an algal bed is 7 kcal/m2/yr and respiration is 3
kcal/m2/yr?

1 kcal/m2/yr 

2 kcal/m2/yr 

4 kcal/m2/yr 

6 kcal/m2/yr 
