• Runoff

• Groundwater

• Precipitation

What is the correct equation for respiration.

• CO2 + H20 + Energy = C6H1206 + O2

• O2 + C6H12O6 = Energy + Water + CO2

• CO2 + C6H12O6 = Energy + Water + O2

• O2 + H20 + Energy = C02 + C6H12O6

In which cycle is limestone a key factor?

• Carbon

• Phosphorus

• Nitrogen

• Sulfur

The main reservoir for Nitrogen is the:

• Air

• Soil

• Bacteria

• Water

Ammonia is converted into nitrites and nitrates in:

• Nitrogen Fixation

• Denitrification

• Mineralization

• Nitrification

What process can be caused by lightning?

• Nitrification

• Denitrification

• Nitrogen Fixation

• Precipitation

Why does the phosphorus cycle not recycle from the oceans back to land as fast as the other cycles.

• Phosphorus is not in fossil fuels so we dont extract it.

• There is no atmospheric component

• It is not washed off in runoff.

• The bonds of atmospheric phosphorus are too strong.

The main cause of acid rain is:

• Cabon Cycle

• Hydrologic Cycle

• Sulfur Cycle

• Phosphorus Cycle

Denitrifying bacteria are found in:

• Anoxic environments like muddy soil.

• Oxic environments like muddy soil.

• Anoxic environments like a dry corn feild.

• Oxic environments like a dry cornfields.
