Studied by 6 peoplePrimary productivity
The rate at which autotrophic organisms produce energy per unit area through photosynthesis or chemosynthesis.
Commensalism/Mutualism
A relationship in which one organism benefits while the other is neither harmed nor benefited.
Biomass
Mass of living things in a given area
Photosynthesis
The use of light energy to create glucose from carbon dioxide and water.
Parasitism
A relationship between tow organism where the parasite obtains benefit at the expense of the host
(cellular) Respiration
Process by which food in the form of sugar (Glucose) is transformed into energy within cells
Photosynthesis
6CO2 + 6H20 -> (light) C6H12O6 + 6O2 or Carbon Dioxide + Water -> (light) Glucose + Oxygen
Productivity
the rate at which energy is added to the bodies of a group or organism
TLTE FORMULA
TLTE= production at present trophic level/production at previous level X 100
