Biogeochemical Cycles Practice Questions

This document contains 5 practice questions about biogeochemical cycles. The questions test knowledge about: 1) Nitrogen's reservoir, which is the atmosphere. 2) Nitrogen is the element that requires bacteria to enter the biotic part of its cycle. 3) Carbon can be stored in remains of organisms and released as fuel. 4) Both nitrogen and phosphorus are transferred to living organisms from their reservoirs via weathering and erosion. 5) Nitrogen fixation is the specific process required for nitrogen to become a form utilized by plants.
