In the carbon cycle, carbon is transferred from animals to plants in what form? | carbon dioxide |
The process by which nitrogen gas is released into the atmosphere by bacteria is called what? | denitrification |
What is the role of plants in the carbon cycle? | plants take carbon dioxide that is released by other animals |
About how much energy from the first level/primary consumers is transferred to the second level/secondary consumers? | 10% |
What is true about denitrification and nitrogen fixation? | denitrification puts nitrogen in the air as N2 gas and nitrogen fixation changes nitrogen to a form usable by plants |
What best describes how the flow of energy is related to matter cycles? | the carbon from carbon dioxide is used to make glucose which plants use for energy |
Where is carbon NOT found? | ammonia |
What does plants use nitrogen for? | make proteins |
Where does almost all the energy that flows through food chains comes from? | the sun |
What is the process by which liquid water turns into water vapor? | evaporation |
How is carbon dioxide released into the atmosphere? | cellular respiration, combustion, & decomposition |
