PLEASE HELP :) What is the difference between Gross Primary Production and Net primary production in simple terms? (If you could also provide an example I would really appreciate it.) Thank you for your time!

Gross primary production (GPP) is the total rate at which material is produced and net primary production (NPP) is the rate at which material is accumulated in excess of respiration. In other words, NPP is GPP minus respiration. ... Net primary production is directly related to ecosystem conditions.

starchy vegetables are high in carbohydrates.

starchy vegetables contain more carbohydrates than non-starchy vegetables.

explanation:

there are two primary categories of carbohydrates, essentially differentiated on the basis of their carbohydrate content (which is in the form of starch - a complex carbohydrate):

those vegetables which contain little amounts of starch are termed as non-starchy vegetables, and some examples include: artichokes, broccoli and bean sprouts.

vegetables high in their starch content are distinguished as starchy vegetables, and some examples include: potatoes, chickpeas and corn.
