  1. What are the destinations
    of the organic material
    fabricated by the producers?


Part of by the producers isthe organic material consum synthesized as energyed (^)
source for the metabolismproducer individual. The other part is of the own
incorporated (into the body) and
becomes available to hbeings of the ecosystem. Ineterotrophic each
following trophic level part of the
organic material is usmetabolism of the individed in theuals of the (^)
level, thwaste and only a fraction ise other part is eliminate d as
incorporated and becomes available as
food for the following level.



  1. What is the formula of the
    net primary production (NPP)?
    How does NPP relate to the
    energy pyramids?


Net primary production is the gross


primary prmaterial cooductivitynsumed as en less the organicergy source in (^)
the metabolism of the producers: NPP =
GPP – (organic material sprespiration). It represents thent in aerobice organic
material available in the first trophic
level.
The base of the energy pyramids must
represent tthe idea of these pyramids ishe NPP and not the GPP since to show
the available energy in each trophic
level of the food chain.
