Decomposition, nitrogen fixation,

Question 15

What is in the water cycle?

Answer 15

Condensation, evaporation, precipitation, transpiration

Question 16

What are the 3 steps in the basic pattern of chemical cycling?

Answer 16

1. Producers use photosynthesis and it becomes an organic compound
2. Consumers feed on the producers, incorporating some of the chemicals back into their own bodies, and then poop it out
3. Organisms die, decomposes break them down, cycle continues
