Q.
In an ecosystem, if the net primary productivity (NPP) of the first trophic level is $100 x (kcal m^{- 2}) {yr}^{- 1}$ , what would be the GPP (Gross Primary Productivity) of the third trophic level of the same ecosystem [2024]

1 $\frac{x}{10} (kcal m^{- 2}) {yr}^{- 1}$

2 $x (kcal m^{- 2}) {yr}^{- 1}$

3 $10 x (kcal m^{- 2}) {yr}^{- 1}$

4 $\frac{100 x}{3 x} (kcal m^{- 2}) {yr}^{- 1}$
