The nitrogen cycle has a large _____ component, while the phosphorus cycle has a large _____ component.

Biology
1 answer:
mezya [45]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

a. atmospheric, sedimentary rock

Explanation:

Nitrogen is found as N2 in the atmosphere and is the main component of air, accounting for about 78% of its composition. The nitrogen cycle begins with the transformation of N2 from the atmosphere into other nitrogen compounds. For this reason, we can conclude that the nitrogen cycle has a large atmospheric component.

The biogeochemical cycle of phosphorus is simpler compared to other elements such as carbon and nitrogen. In the phosphorus cycle there is no passage of this element through the atmosphere.  Phosphorus is the only macronutrient that does not exist in the atmosphere. It is found only in its solid form in the rocks. For this reason, we can conclude that the phosphorus cycle has a large sedimentary rock component.

How is a tendon different from a ligament? A. A tendon joins a bone to a bone; a ligament joins a muscle to a bone. B. A tendon
rusak2 [61]
B is correct. A tendon will join a muscle to a bone, and a ligament joins a bone to another bone. I think of it this way, partly influenced by my biology teacher:

- The achilles tendon, at the back of your foot, clearly joins foot to calf muscle
- The word ligament comes from 'deligare' in Latin, which roughly means to tie           together. A ligament 'ties' two bones together

I hope this helps

Why is barrow alaska one of the most important places to go to study the effects of climate change?
finlep [7]
<span>because “Barrow is ground zero for climate-change science, and because we worry that climate change is shrinking the sea ice and we don’t know how that will affect the animals that depend on it. But at this time there is no effective plan if a catastrophe such as a ship collision or oil spill occurs. The Coast Guard hasn’t decided what its presence will be in the Arctic. Someone needs to monitor whats going on there.</span>

Stranded on an island, you have two sources of water to drink: salty ocean water and contaminated fresh water. explain your choi
Liono4ka [1.6K]
I would probably drink a small amount of ocean water in 20 monute intervals, to not over dehydrate myself. This would probably give me enough time to go find other sources of water on the island (eg. coconuts) tp get clean water. In my opinion, this would be a better option than drinking contaminated fresh water. There is a higher risk of getting infected by the bacteria in the water, which would be why its better to take the contaminated fresh water only as a last resort option.

I'm not really sure what I just typed but hopefully it makes some kind of sense to you☺
