Vedclass · Answer

(D) Gross Primary Productivity $(GPP)$ is the total rate of production of organic matter during photosynthesis by producers in an ecosystem.Producers also lose some of this energy through respiration $(R)$.The remaining energy,which is available for consumption by heterotrophs,is called Net Primary Productivity $(NPP)$.The relationship is given by the equation: $NPP = GPP - R$.By rearranging this formula,we get: $GPP = NPP + R$.Also,by rearranging for $R$,we get: $R = GPP - NPP$.Therefore,both equations $GPP = NPP + R$ and $R = GPP - NPP$ are correct representations derived from the fundamental equation of productivity.
