True
What are the substances that organisms need to survive? —–
Nutrients
This cycle shows the movement of nutrients through an ecosystem. ——
Biogeochemical cycles
T|F: In the biogeochemical cycle, animals organize the nutrients into biologically useful components. ——
false, green plants
T|F: In the biogeochemical cycle, animals convert some organic compounds into organic compounds by consumption. ——
True
In biogeochemical cycle, what covert organic matter into simple elements? ——
Decomposers
There are two types of biogeochemical cycle, which between the two are classified as the main reservoirs of nutrients are the atmosphere and the oceans? ——-
Gaseous cycle
In what percent does nitrogen, oxygen, and carbon dioxide provide in the atmosphere? ——
N-78%,O-21%,CO2-0.03%
There are two types of biogeochemical cycle, which between the two are classified as the main reservoir is the soil, rocks, and minerals? ——–
Sedimentary cycle
T|F: The available forms of sedimentary cycle occur in salts dissolved in soil water or lakes, streams and seas. ——–
True
What cycle collects, purifies, and distributes the earth’s fixed supply of water? ——–
Hydrologic cycle
T|F: Most of earth’s water is stored in the oceans, but solar energy continually evaporates this water, and winds distribute water vapor around the globe. ——–
True
T|F: The main processes involved in hydrologic cycle is [1]condensation, [2]transpiration, [3]runoff, [4]evaporation, and [5]precipitation. ———
Eva,Con,Tra,Pre,Run
T|F: Biomes are defined by climate and amount of precipitation. ——
True
Biomes are divided by two distinct features. What are these two? —–
Aquatic and Terrestrial
T|F: Aquatic biomes are identified by the mature or older-growth vegetation like trees, shrubs, and grasses. ——
Terrestrial biome
This type of biome shows the features of the physical environment. ——
Aquatic biome
Under aquatic biomes, what are the three under the category of marine biomes? ——–
Oceans, Continental Shelves, Estuaries
T|F: In continental shelves, there are kelp meadows, seagrass beds, and coral reefs. —–
True
In aquatic biomes, there are marine biomes, freshwater biomes, and [what]? ——-
