Pregunta 8
Pregunta
What happens to phosphorous that erodes from rock and soil?
Pregunta 9
Pregunta
Gravity draws water back to Earth.
Pregunta 10
Pregunta
Transpiration is sweat.
Pregunta 11
Pregunta
The soil in the ground determines what plants grow where.
Pregunta 12
Pregunta
An aquifer is an permeable rock site where water can pass through easily and the water below this is also called groundwater.
Pregunta 13
Pregunta
Seepage from Ground and Runoff from surface are two ways water travels from land to ocean.
Pregunta 14
Pregunta
Runoff only includes flows from rivers and/or streams.
Pregunta 15
Pregunta
80% of water enters the hydrologic cycle.
Pregunta 16
Pregunta
55% of water fall back as rain in the hydrologic cycle.
Pregunta 17
Pregunta
Most of the carbon located on Earth is in the atmosphere as carbon dioxide.
Pregunta 18
Pregunta
Carbon enters the biotic parts of the ecosystem through water.
Pregunta 19
Pregunta
The function of plants in the forest is to take carbon dioxide and turn it into oxygen.
Pregunta 20
Pregunta
Carbon dioxide is returned to the atmosphere when any living thing exhales.
Pregunta 21
Pregunta
A primary producer is a living thing that can make food on its own.
Pregunta 22
Pregunta
When primary and secondary consumers die the carbon stays in their bodies.
Pregunta 23
Pregunta
Detritus feeders don't contribute in anything at all in the carbon cycle.
Pregunta 24
Pregunta
Fossil fuels are oils, gasses, and coal.
Pregunta 25
Pregunta
Carbon gets in the ocean because it's in the atmosphere and seashells also release it.
Pregunta 26
Pregunta
Plants and animals get nitrogen from nitrogen fixation if they can't get it from the atmosphere.
Pregunta 27
Pregunta
Nitrogen fixing bacteria turn the nitrogen into nitrogen gas.
Pregunta 28
Pregunta
Air is a major reservoir for ammonia.
Pregunta 29
Pregunta
Herbivores need nitrogen because they eat plants and plants need nitrogen.
Pregunta 30
Pregunta
Dentrification is the process in which carbon is converted into energy.
Pregunta 31
Pregunta
There's no phosphorous in plants or animals.
Pregunta 32
Pregunta
Phosphates return to the ecosystem and/or plants when an animal or a plant dies.
Pregunta 33
Pregunta
Phosphorous carried by runoff to the oceans gets concentrated in: marine rocks, fish's body, sea plants.
Pregunta 34
Pregunta
Phosphates are incorporated into aquatic plants and animals by water.
Pregunta 35
Pregunta
The difference between the phosphorous cycle and the water, carbon and nitrogen cycle is in phosphorous's cycle phosphates never return to the atmosphere.
