When the Net Primary Productivity was measured in the presented graph, what was included in those measurements?
- Above and underground biomass are included in net primary productivity.
- Net primary productivity is the total amount of carbon fixed.
- Net primary productivity is the amount of carbon fixed minus the amount used during cellular respiration and includes only the aboveground biomass in terrestrial biomes.
- Net primary productivity refers to the amount of total amount of carbon fixed.

- They have the ability to withstand fires.
- They have a well-developed root system, which allows them to regrow after a fire.
- Grasses are tall and only their top portions are destroyed.
- Trees shield some of the grass thus protecting it from fire.
- They receive abundant rainfall.
- The temperatures are cold throughout the year.
- They have relatively long dry seasons.

The figure shows different zones present in the ocean. Which of the following statements about marine biomes is true?
- The benthic zone includes the ocean’s open water and shore.
- The pelagic realm includes all of the ocean’s open water.
- The majority of the ocean includes the photic zone.
- The deepest zone of the ocean is known as the aphotic zone.
- Corals are able to derive their nutrition from the algae and thus survive in the nutritionally poor water.
- Corals are able to accumulate calcium carbonate from the algae.
- They can form coral reefs because of this association.
- The corals provide protection to the algae.

- They trap solar radiation released from the sun as it reaches the Earth’s surface, similar to the glass in a greenhouse.
- They are found mostly in green houses.
- These gases are essential for plant growth in a green house.
- They trap solar radiation, which is converted into thermal radiation on the Earth’s surface of which some is reradiated back into the atmosphere.
