What is the name of the step in the nitrogen cycle that converts nitrogen gas (N2 ) to ammonia ( NH3)?

nitrogen fixation

How does the process of photosynthesis contribute to the carbon cycle?

Plants absorb carbon dioxide from the atmosphere to use during photosynthesis.

How does the process of cellular respiration contribute to the carbon cycle?

Carbon dioxide is released to the atmosphere during cellular respiration.

There is 25,000 Kcal available at the producer level. How many Kcal is available for the tertiary consumers?

25 Kcal

How does burning fossil fuels affect the carbon cycle?

Burning fossil fuels releases carbon dioxide into the atmosphere.

Of the following organisms found in the food web, which belongs to the trophic level with the least amount of available energy?

sea lamprey

In the diagram what does box 4 represent in the carbon cycle?

decomposition

Which level on this trophic pyramid has the largest population?

producers

When an organism dies where does the carbon get released to?

the soil

Compare the number of individuals in the producer level to the individuals in the secondary consumer level within a typical ecosystem?

The producer level contains more individuals than the secondary consumer level. : Secondary consumer has a smaller population.

Which organism in this food web is a producer?

flagellates

Why is N2 gas considered unusable by plants and animals?

Plants and animals can not break the triple bond between the nitrogen atoms .

In the diagram what does box 1 represent in the carbon cycle?

carbon dioxide in the atmosphere

What is the name of the step in the nitrogen cycle that occurs when plants absorb nitrates( (NO₃ ) from the soil?

assimilation

Each trophic level only gets 10% of the available energy, what happens to the other 90% of the energy?

lost as heat

The law of conservation of energy states that energy can not be created or destroyed. Where does the flagellates get their energy from?

The sun

In the diagram what does box 2 represent in the carbon cycle?

photosynthesis

What is the name of the step in the nitrogen cycle that converts ammonium (NH₄) into nitrites (NO₂) and then to nitrates(NO₃ )?

nitrification

What is the name of the step in the nitrogen cycle that converts nitrates (NO₃ ) back into nitrogen gas( N2) ?

denitrification

In the diagram what does box 5 represent in the carbon cycle?

combustion

What level of consumer is the yellow perch?

secondary consumer

What would happen to the population of sea lamprey if the mollusks population disappeared?

The population of sea lamprey would decrease because the mollusk is a main food source for the sea lamprey.

In the diagram what does box 3 represent in the carbon cycle?

cellular respiration

What is the name of the step in the nitrogen cycle that converts ammonia(NH₃) to ammonium ( NH₄)?

ammonification

Which level on this trophic pyramid has the least amount of energy?

Tertiary consumer
