Scientists calculated the net primary productivity at two different forest sites. both forests have the same gross primary productivity. forest a has a net primary productivity of 1,650kcal/m^2/year, and forest b has a net primary productivity of 1,110kcal/m^2/year. which of the following statements is best supported by the data? a. forest a has a higher rate of decomposition by bacteria than forest b. b. forest a has more biodiversity than forest b. c. forest a producers have lower rates of cellular respiration than forest b producers. d. forest a producers have more biomass than forest b producers.

c. Forest A producers have lower rates of cellular respiration than forest B producers.        

Explanation:

           Cellular respiration may be defined as a set of metabolic processes and reactions. It is a process that takes place inside the cells of the organisms and it convert biochemical energy from the nutrients into ATP or adenosine triphosphate, thus releasing waste products.

          It is given that the gross primary productivity of both the forest A and forest B is same. And the net primary productivity of forest B is lower than the net productivity of forest A, so the forest B has a high rate of cellular respiration.

Therefore the cellular respiration of forest A is lower than forest B.

Thus the correct option is (c).
