Nitrates are formed when lightning combines oxygen in the air and energy is released when it strikes.
What is a lightening fixation or nitrogen fixation?
the formula for Photosynthesis:
What is 6CO2 + 6H2O+ Energy —> C6H12O6 + 6O2
The amount of energy from the primary producers to an organism on the tertiary consumer level.
What is 0.1%?
A ladybug cannot produce its own food. It must eat plants and leaves to survive. That is why it is classified as this on an energy flow pyramid .
What is a primary consumer?
Plants have waxy leaves and the soil is very thin and nutrient poor in this biome.
What is the tropical rainsforest?
These pictures represent these.

What is are biomes?
The humidity in the air, along with the smoke from local factories, made it difficult to breath. These factors make up this portion of the ecosystem.
What is Abiotic or Atmosphere (I will accept either)?
This group in an ecological pyramid is defined by its eating of plants.
What is primary consumer?
This cycle differs from the other biogeochemical cycles because it does not cycle through the atmosphere.
What is the phosphorous cycle?
All of the biotic factors in an ecosystem make up this grouping.
What is a community?
The apex predator in the food web above.
What is the mountain lion?
the formula for Cellular Respiration:
What is C6H12O6 + 6O2→ 6CO2 + 6H2O + energy
The cycling of Carbon through Photosynthesis and Cellular Respiration have opposite effects on this sphere.
What is the atmosphere?
The process of changing nitrates into Free nitrogen.
What is denitrification?
In this biome typically found on the downwind side of mountains, most the animals are nocturnal to avoid the daytime heat.
What is the desert?

The living organisms in this arctic ecosystem represent this.
What is a population?
The primary producers of the open ocean.
What are phytoplankton and algae?
The process of losing water through leaves on plants and trees.
What is transpiration?
This is why energy is different than organic matter, carbon, nitrogen, water and phosphorous.
What is that it does not cycle? or What is that it can be used up or destroyed?
The direction the arrows point in a food chain or food web.
What is in the direction f energy flow or up the food chain?
The organism with 10% energy consumption from the primary producers.
What is a primary consumers or Crustaceans?
the two spheres involved when water evaporates from the ocean.
What is hydrosphere and atmosphere?
This element can cause algal blooms in bodies of water when humans overfertilize near a water source.
What is Nitrogen?
Daily Double -
The vital element for life that participates in the cycles but is not the main character of the cycles.
What is oxygen?
The pyramid that shows the total amount of living tissue within a trophic level.
What is biomass?
