Cleo has a vegetable garden and wants to increase the amount of nitrogen in the soil.How can she most likely do this?

Which processes result in the release of carbon? Select three options.Animals break down food molecules to obtain energy.The remains of producers are broken down by decomposers.The remains of consumers are broken down by soil decomposers.Producers take in carbon dioxide.Producers make sugars and starches.

How is the nitrogen cycle important to humans?

During which process of the water cycle does water change from a gas to a liquid?

Chen drew a diagram to compare the ways in which different organisms obtain nitrogen.

Kate wrote the steps of the carbon cycle to describe how carbon is cycled through specific organisms. The steps are in random order.1 - The rabbit decomposes.2 - The rabbit eats the carrot plant. 3 - The carrot plant takes in carbon dioxide from the air during photosynthesis.4 - Carbon compounds are returned to the soil.

Scott made a model of the water cycle by filling a tub with water, covering the tub with clear plastic, and placing a heat lamp over the tub. After a few days, he observed water droplets collecting on the plastic wrap.What process formed the water droplets in Scott’s model?

Which process occurs when bacteria converts nitrogen gas to a usable form?
