The largest net primary production of the Earth is contributed by:
1. savanna
2. salt marsh
3. open ocean
4. tropical rainforest
An example of primary succession would be:
| 1. | Soil formation in the crater of an extinct volcano |
| 2. | Growth of a pine forest after a fire |
| 3. | Restoration of grass on a former agricultural field |
| 4. | Starfish colonizing on a coral reef |
The residual, after autotrophic respiration is subtracted from GPP, is:
| 1. | secondary productivity | 2. | net primary productivity |
| 3. | standing crop biomass | 4. | chemosynthesis |

Early seral communities in secondary succession are less productive than in later stages because:
| 1. | early seral communities are prone to invasion and disturbance by other species of plants |
| 2. | low biomass means less productivity |
| 3. | weedy early seral communities make habitat inhospitable for more productive species |
| 4. | early seral stages are more sensitive to nutrient deficiencies |
Which of the following is most likely to exhibit the maximum difference between GPP and NPP?
1. phytoplankton in the ocean.
2. corn plants in a farmerʹs field.
3. prairie grasses.
4. an oak tree in a forest.
Primary producers near deep-sea vents are:
1. Chemohetrotrophic prokaryotes
2. Chemoauotrophic prokaryotes
3. Photosynthetic prokaryotes
4. Photosynthetic autotrophs
