Answer to Question 1

Answer: It is the amount of biomass added in an area (usually measured per square meter per year). It is the result of subtracting the materials necessary to keep plants alive from the total production due to photosynthesis. This amount varies substantially around the Earth, with tropical rainforests having the highest values.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: It is the basic process by which life exists on Earth. Plant cells are able to capture solar energy and fix it into chemical form to be used by the plant or an animal eating the plant at a later time. Chemical energy is, thus, passed along the food chain.
