How does natural selection enable populations to grow

The growth or shrinkage of populations has nothing to do with natural selection, but with the availability of resources, and the ability of organisms to utilize those resources. This is also known as 'carrying capacity'. The natural tendency is for organisms to produce more offspring than the environment can support. So if the environment supports more individuals, then the population will automatically grow. If conditions change and the environment supports less individuals, then some individuals will starve or be otherwise unable to reproduce. Natural selection, in this case, "determines" which individuals pass, and which do not.

What is productivity in temperate oceans determined by

Productivity in temperate oceans is determined by the tides. The bigger the wave, the less productivity will be present. Low tide means high productivity in tide pools along the shore.

Is general professional partnership subject to withholding tax

the GPP itself are exempt for withholding tax but if the income payment are payable direct to the members of the GPP then it is subject to withholdinbg tax..

The GPP is not a taxable entity because its member are taxable individually, so the gpp are exempt from withholding..

What is the difference between net primary productivity and primary productivity

primary productivity is defined as the amount of . organic matter produced per unit area over a time period by plant during photosynthesis. and gross primary productivity minus respiration losses is the net primary productivity .

What biome has the highest primary production in terrestrial ecosystems

Tropical rain forests have the highest primary productivity of any ecosystem on the planet.

Is solar a sustainable form of energy production

I'm not entirely sure what you mean by sustainable, but solar energy will be available until the Earth dies. So, in that sense it is sustainable. On the other hand it is not economically feasible as a broad based source of energy, so in that sense it is not sustainable.
