  • Q10
    What is the main issue with nitrogen gas?
    Organisms are surrounded by too much nitrogen gas and it is harmful.
    It is very abundant, but cannot be used in this form by many organisms.
    Most of the nitrogen is held in the soil and it is most useful when it is in the atmosphere.
    It is not abundant in the atmosphere and animals require more than is available.
    120s
  • Q11
    What form of nitrogen is able to be incorporated into plant tissues?
    Nitrate
    Nitrogen Gas
    120s
  • Q12
    Too much nitrogen in the soil is not a good thing for organisms, therefore, it must be held in the atmosphere. What processes releases nitrogen back to the atmosphere?
    Denitrification
    Nitrification
    Producer Uptake
    Nitrogen Fixation
    120s
  • Q13
    What is the main purpose of nitrogen fixation?
    To increase the amount of nitrogen gas in the atmosphere.
    To store extra nitrogen in the soil.
    To convert nitrogen gas into a more useable form.
    To store nitrogen gas directly in plant tissues.
    120s
  • Q14
    How does nitrogen in the form of nitrate move from one trophic level to another?
    Feeding Relationships
    Denitrification
    Nitrogen Fixation
