APES TOPICS 1.1-1.11 & Skills 1:A & B,2:A and B and C:6

types of organisms are required to complete the nitrogen cycle, including the process of denitrification

Bacteria

The total rate of photosynthesis in a given area.

Gross primary productivity

the conversion of nitrogen gas into usable forms available to producers

Nitrogen fixation-the process by which atmospheric nitrogen gas (N2) is converted to ammonia or other forms of nitrogen available to plants

Which describes the most likely change to terrestrial biomes resulting from warmer average global temperatures

The global distribution of midlatitude biomes, such as grasslands and temperate rain forests, would increase.

This rate of reaction can be measured in the dark by determining the amount of oxygen gas consumed in a period of time

Cellular respiration

The energy available to consumers determined by subtracting the energy used by plants from the total energy transformed by the process of photosynthesis.

Primary productivity

The majority of the nitrogen on Earth can be found in which reservoir

The atmosphere

Which of the following terrestrial biomes has the highest net primary productivity

Tropical rain forest

Which of the following terrestrial biomes has the highest primary productivity per unit area

Tropical rain forest
