- 14. Multiple Choice
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
- 15. Multiple Choice
Plants can take in Nitrogen directly from the air.
TRUE
FALSE
- 16. Multiple Choice
Legumes are plants like beans, clover, and alfalfa that have bacteria living in nodules on their roots. These bacteria fix nitrogen into a form the plant can use and in return the bacteria get nutrients from the plant as well as a place to live.
This relationship can be best described as ____.
Competition
parasitism
mutualism
commensalism
- 17. Multiple Choice
Which of the following are true of biogeochemical cycles?
They ensure that nutrients are used only once by organisms.
The create new materials to replace lost ones.
They increase the total amount of matter over time.
They can be affected by human activity.
- 18. Multiple Choice
Which of the following is an example of how biogeochemical cycles are important in sustaining life?
The atoms of water molecules are destroyed during a drought.
Oxygen atoms are converted into carbon during cellular respiration.
Nitrogen in wastes are converted into useable nutrients for other organisms.
New carbon atoms are created during the carbon cycle.
