What forms of nitrogen and carbon can be used by plants?

ammonia, nitrates, and carbon dioxide

Which process moves carbon stored in fossil fuel into another carbon reservoir?

When fossil fuels are burned, carbon enters the atmosphere as carbon dioxide.

The denitrifying bacteria turns the fossil fuel into carbon dioxide gas.

Decomposers convert the fossil fuels into greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide.

The fossil fuels react with the soil to produce carbonates and carbon dioxide.

Which of the following is a consequence of excess carbon building up in Earth’s atmosphere?

Global temperatures change, affecting normal weather patterns.

The amount of breathable oxygen available to living things decreases

The amount of solar energy reaching the earth’s surface decreases.

Global air pressure increases making it more difficult for plants and animals to breathe.

Scientists have detected a dramatic decrease in usable nitrogen levels in the soil of a local ecosystem. Which of the following is a likely theory to explain this problem?

A decrease in bacterial colonies within the soil.

A decrease in the amount of lightning strikes.

An increase in fertilizer usage at local farms.

An increase in the biomass forming plants.

What happens to the nitrogen excreted by animals?

Nitrogen is converted into ammonia.

Nitrates are reabsorbed by the animal.

Nitrogen is released back into the environment.

Nitrates are converted into proteins.

How are burning of fossil fuels and volcanic eruptions similar with respect to their effects on the carbon cycle?

Both add carbon to the atmosphere.

Both remove carbon from the atmosphere.

Both add carbon to the lithosphere.

Both remove carbon from the lithosphere.
