Question

PLEASE HELP :) Can someone please explain what primary production is? Also what does sink/source/flux/ and egestion mean? (Can an organism be a sink/source and flux at the same time or is an organism only supposed to be one or the other?

Answer 1

It describes the rate at which plants and other photosynthetic organisms produce organic compounds in an ecosystem.

Sources are carbon emitters

sinks are carbon absorbers

The movement of any material from one place to another is called a flux

Egestion: The act of excreting unusable or undigested material from a cell

Step-by-step explanation:

fluxes are flows of carbon between sources and sinks. A source may also be a sink.
