This process is carried out by both plants & animals. This process returns carbon dioxide to the air by the burning of fossil fuels. These 2 processes return carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. This is a green house gas and a component of the carbon cycle. Excess amounts of it in the air can contribute to global warming. This is a process of the nitrogen cycle in which unusable nitrogen compounds are converted into compounds that can be used by plants. This type of bacteria is found living in root nodules of legumes. This gas makes up about 78% of the atmosphere. The 2 forms of nitrogen that plants can use. This type of bacteria converts nitrates into nitrogen gas. The process in the water cycle in which water falls to the earth’s surface. The evaporation of water from the leaves of plants. Water that is not soaked up by the ground, but rather remains on the surface and travels downhill. The process by which water changes from the liquid form to the gas form. The opposite of evaporation. What is the top predator in the Yellowstone ecosystem today? What happened to the aspen and willow populations when the wolves were reintroduced into Yellowstone? What happened to the beaver population when wolves were reintroduced? What happened to the elk population when wolves were reintroduced into Yellowstone? How did the reintroduction of wolves affect ranchers? The build up of toxins in a food chain as you move from one trophic level to the next. Examples of these include soybeans, clover, and alfalfa The niche of the frog in the following food chain: Grass grasshopper frog heron The process in the nitrogen cycle that involves changing usable nitrogen compounds by plants into complex plant or animal nitrogen compounds. The names of Mrs. Dunkel’s two cats OR two dogs. Cannot be one of each.
