which is used to make fossil fuels carbon
phosphorus is not in the atmosphere true
the sun is the boss of the water cycle true
phosphorus cycle has no effect on aquatic ecosystems false
nitrogen is needed to build proteins
microorganisms capable of transforming atmospheric nitrogen into fixed nitrogen nitrogen-fixing bacteria
a microbial process that converts ammonia and similar nitrogen compounds into nitrite (NO2–) and then nitrate (NO3–) nitrification

eutrophication excessive richness of nutrients in a lake or other body of water, frequently due to runoff from the land, which causes a dense growth of plant life and death of animal life from lack of oxygen
acid rain rain or any other form of precipitation that is unusually acidic, meaning that it has elevated levels of hydrogen ions (low pH
photo synthesis the process by which plants use sunlight, water, and carbon dioxide to create oxygen and energy in the form of sugar
respiration a process in living organisms involving the production of energy, typically with the intake of oxygen and the release of carbon dioxide from the oxidation of complex organic substances
fossil fuels a natural fuel such as coal or gas, formed in the geological past from the remains of living organisms
greenhouse Gas gases in the earth's atmosphere that absorb IR from the sun and release it
erosion process in which earthen materials are worn away and transported by natural forces such as wind or water
