20

Which element is the base of all organic molecules?

Hydrogen

Nitrogen

Calcium

Carbon

20

What is produced in the process of nitrification?

Nitrogen

Ammonia

Nitroglycerin

Nitrates

20

Using too much pesticides can lead to eutrophication:

False

True

10

What is the process by which plants abosrb nitrogen into its tissues to make amino acids?

Assimilation

Nitrification

Denitrification

Decomposition

20

The Nitrogen cycle is faster than the phosphorus cycle:

True

False

10

The phosphorus cycle is mostly controlled by geologic processes:

True

False

10

The process by which Carbon in the air is captured and brought to the surface?

Combustion

Decomposition

Photosynthesis

Niitrification

10

Which of the following increases atmospheric carbon?

Deforestation

All of these options

Combustion

Cellular respiration

20

The process by by which nitrites and nitrates in the soil are returned to the atmopshere?

Denitrification

Nitrification

Nitrogen-fixation

Assimilation

20

This is the burning of substances such as wood and fossil fuels which can release carbon:

Cellular respiration

Combustion

Decomposition

Sedimentation

20

The process by which water travels vertically below ground:

Precipitation

Surface run-off

Transpiration

Infiltration

20

The process by which plants release water:

Photosynthesis

Condensation

Evaporation

Transpiration

20

The process by which water vapour cools down and converts to its liquid form:

Evaporation

Precipitation

Condensation

Transpiration

20

Indicator species are used to determine the volume of nitrogen in an ecosystem:

False

True

10

Explain why the phosphorus cycle is faster or slower than the nitrogen cycle:

The phosphorus cycle is slower than the nitrogen cycle because it is mostly controlled by geologic processes such weathering and tectonic activity.
