When an organism dies, the nitrogen in its body

is released by the action of decomposers.

can never be reused by other living things.

is immediately released into the atmosphere.

In going from one trophic level to the next higher level,

the amount of usable energy decreases.

the number of organisms increases.

the amount of usable energy increases.

The diagram represents a food chain. The arrows in the diagram indicate the

direction in which organisms move in the environment.

Deforestation by burning has been described as a "double whammy" to the environment, meaning it has 2 negative impacts. Why is this description accurate?

Forest burning releases CO 2 while decreasing oxygen, which disrupts cycles

Deforestation reduces the amount of oxygen in the atmosphere, which depletes the ozone layer

Forest clearing is often followed by land development, which often leads to increased noise pollution

Deforestation increases the number of plant and animal species by destroying habitat
