Most plants cannot access this 7. nutrient from the atmosphere; therefore, they obtain it from the soil. This cycle refers to a 8. macronutrient that is essential for metabolic energy use as ATP. An example of this concept is a 9. coal-fired power plant release more carbon dioxide into the atmosphere than it absorbs.

The adaptations of desert animals to their environmentinclude water conservation mechanisms. A number of theseorganisms conserve water so successfully that they neveractually drink it. They depend instead on water generatedduring metabolism. Determine how much water can beobtained by the oxidation of 1 mole of palmitic acid.

Denitrifying bacteria convert nitrates (NO3 ) into nitrogen gas (N2). Ammonification is the process by which ammonium ion (NH4+) is released from decomposing organic compounds. Nitrification is the process by which nitrites (NO2-) are converted to ammonium ion (NH4+).

Please select the correct sequence of steps involved in the creation of a dead zone in a water body. 1. Heterotrophic microbes metabolize the organic compounds synthesized by primary producers. 2. Water becomes hypoxic and toxic algal blooms may occur; animals in the area either flee or die. 3. Water accumulates nutrients as it runs through agricultural, industrial, and urbanized regions. 4. Dissolved O2 is consumed by metabolic activity of heterotrophs. 5. Excess nitrate and phosphate in nutrient-rich water causes algae and cyanobacteria to flourish.
