The correct answer is:
Gross primary productivity = rate of formation of new organic matter by consumers
Gross primary production (GPP) is the rate at which an ecosystem's producers capture and store a given amount of chemical energy as biomass in a given length of time. (Definition). It is also the rate of conversion of light energy to chemical energy by producers in an ecosystem.
Total production of organic matter is called gross primary productivity and the energy left after utilization of producers is termed net primary productivity.
The rate of assimilation of food energy by consumers is called secondary productivity and this energy is available to carnivores as they are the consumers.
Net Primary Productivity (NPP) is the rate at which plants incorporate atmospheric carbon through photosynthesis. (Definition)
