Carbon Cycle
Where primary consumers get the carbon from.
What is eating plants
The element that is not released during respiration into the atmosphere.
What is phosphorus?
molecules that plants produce using nitrogen.
What is proteins?
When clouds get too heavy to hold water in the water cycle.
What is it rains?
The molecule that trees get their carbon from.
What is Carbon Dioxid?
the natural reservoir of phosphorous.
What is rocks?
organisms that are decomposers?
What is bacteria and fungi?
where the purest water on Earth is.
What is glaciers and ice caps?
The process that removes carbon from the atmosphere.
What is photosynthesi?
The component is used to make shells, bones, and teeth by animals.
What is phosphorus?
The group of bacteria that uses nitrogen gas from the air to produce their own nitrate?
What is Nitrogen-fixing bacteria?
the estimate of how old the water in glaciers and ice caps is.
What is millions of years?
The process that adds carbon to the atmosphere.
What is Respiratio?
one of the following is a major constituent of biological membranes, nucleic acids, and cellular energy transfer systems.
What is phosphoru?
The form in which animals gain nitrogen?
What is the protein form?
The thing that turns water on the Earth into vapor in the water cycle.
What is the sun?
Why producers and consumers important to the carbon cycle.
What is because they add (consumers) or remove (producers) carbon dioxide back to/from the atmosphere by performing cellular respiration (consumers) or photosynthesis (producers)?
The phosphorus cycle.
What is When it rains, phosphates are removed from the rocks (via weathering) and are distributed throughout both soils and water. Plants take up the phosphate ions from the soil. The phosphates then moves from plants to animals when herbivores eat plants and carnivores eat herbivores. The phosphates absorbed by animal tissue through consumption eventually returns to the soil through the excretion of urine and feces, as well as from the final decomposition of plants and animals after death. Phosphates are used in growth and in bones/teeth of vertebrate?
The form in which nitrogen is taken up by non-legume plants?
What is Nitrates from the soil?
The reason the ocean is salty.
What is Groundwater picks up salt and minerals as it makes its way to the ocean?
