In the carbon cycle, the only process that removes CO2 from the atmosphere is

• combustion

• cellular respiration

• decomposition

• photosynthesis

Tags

NGSS.MS-LS1-6

The main way nitrogen is removed from the atmosphere and changed into a form plants can use is

• Nitrogen Fixation

• Nitrification

• Ammonification

• Denitrification

Tags

NGSS.MS-LS2-3

Each process in the nitrogen cycle is carried out by

• bacteria

• mice

• cows

• plants

Biogeochemical Cycles are important because

• matter in an ecosystem is finite and must be recycled

• living things need Nitrogen, Carbon, and Phosphorus to make the building blocks of cells

• they aren't important and it is a waste of time learning about them

• If matter didn't cycle, organisms would eventually run out of materials to build new cells
